I started this quilt today called Faceted Jewels. I saw it on an Amish quilt site and loved it. I didn't find a pattern on it so I figured it up myself then someone pointed out that it is two different blocks instead of large blocks and sashing like I thought it was. I'm doing it my way. :D
I'm trying out the first block and good thing I did. I based it on 4" finished size for the small blocks but I'm using a Cappuccino Balipop and, like I've read here, the consistency of the cut strips is not good. I did the first 4-patch block and found that it is not even close to being 4 1/2" unfinished size so, I adjusted everything to 4" unfinished. The small flying geese and the large triangle block are paper pieced.
Just love seeing the block come together for the first time.

WOW!!! It's going to be gorgeous!!!!!
I love to start new projects too. I think I am going to start 5 here in a few minutes. Have the fabrics all picked out and going to start pressing and cutting.
