Lovely...you're skills are impressive. I would just paper piece it.

Easy is a relative term! LOL! As long as you accurately sewed the strips and then accurately cut the triangles with the ruler, and then carefully pressed them without stretching; then all the seams line up really well. I sewed the 2 blocks together last night and had to sew slowly to ensure that the seams matched. They came out really great! I was able to match ALL the seams! AND, you really need to pay attention to the center of the starpoints, you have to remove the couple of stitches and make that tiny pinwheel in the middle so the block lays flat. That wasn't too hard though.
I can't wait to see this one completed! My son really wants one, so he's trying to be patient :-) I purchased some of that black light thread that Dusty Farrell uses so I can quilt his!

So beautiful, so easy.
Trick to keeping from stretching is spray starch. Spray, let dry, spray. let dry. Don't try pressing when wet. Terrific job. |
Looks great and really like your fabric choices.
|
Starch the livin poo out of it, that'll help with that pesky bias! Great job, can't wait to see the finished quilt!
|
Oooh, I love the stark contrast of your colors. Nice!!
|
Well done, lovely colors. It's going too be a beautiful quilt.
|
Love the colors, want to see it finished.

Beautiful, makes me want to get the pattern and fabric and go to work. Love the colors you used.

Hancocks has Best Press on sale right now at my store, I stocked up on the stuff because it was on clearence! It will help with all those biased edges. Good job, by the way.

2 suggestions for stretching problem--sew with walking foot or spray starch each piece. Your block looks great & I'd love to see the finished top.

Recently finished my first day and night quilt. Came out pretty well and I really like it. I am trying to figure out how to quilt it also. I don't do my own quilting, send it to a longarmer. Since it was so much work, I really want the quilting pattern to be just right. I plan to use a white tone on tone for the backing and want a dark purple thread so it will standout on the back. Sometimes that is my favorite part! So....any suggestions??
|
@ original poster.I have that book, but haven't made it yet-it's on my list. Yours is amazing!
I like the purple one too. |
Pretty-very nice job :lol:
