Oh i see, so you have more squares to make more checkerboard effect? Yes, it looks very nice with the white squares, and i like how the centre doesnt have the white squares, makes the centre look like a medallion. If you have enough fabric, a small diamond in the white squares would look real nice, but whatever you decide it is very beautiful! :)

The pieces are all pre-cut, so I had to jiggle them around and trim up the purple to match up in size to come up with a block that sorta matches, but is different ...anyway, I think the general opinion is it works, so I will probably make six of those and may include a plain white block as well, lets see how it develops...to be continued...!!

if you cut the two "extra" blocks in half on the diagonal, you could position each of the resulting triangular blocks in the corners of the quilt for balance. you wouldn't have perfect points along the diagonal seams because of the seam allowance, but it would be a way to use all six of those lucsious blocks in one top.

I sort of 'think' I follow you...but I may have to come back to you on that, or if you could explain in more detail...when you say the two extra blocks...which ones were you meaning...God I do get myself confused never mind others tee hee!!!!!!!!!!!! :roll: :lol: :lol:

since i only saw 6 of the "star" blocks in the photo, plus the checkerboard, i didn't know you had 6 of each type. my suggestion was based on that. given 12 pieced blocks altogether, my idea would be unneccessary. :)

I see where your coming from now Patrice, sorry I should have made it clearer, I only made up one block to see if it worked first.....I don't know....these newbies.... :roll: :wink: :lol:

Thanks for the encouragement guys...I am enjoying learning a new technique as I have only done english paper piecing really and foundation piecing, I was abit scared of just seaming........but I think I like it now!!
It wasn't as bad as I thought....think I am too much of a perfectionist - just ask Elle!!! :roll: :D
