Come to Mummy!!!!!!

OK here's my centre it's something I made earlier in the year & has just been sitting pinned to my wall. I had no idea what I was going to do with it so this has helped me with my dilema. Hope you enjoy Barbara it's a coming your way :wink:

OK OK I'll get DH to sneek one out of the hospital he works at tomorrow evening LOL. You can't get out of it that easy now can you LOL.

Tisha

Hooray, Tisha - I have some ideas floating around in my head for that center and can't wait to have it in my hands. You know, this means fabric shopping :-) :-)

Here's the last photo I took of my center on it's own just before wrapping it up to send it off to Jennifer.

Beautiful centres ladies! This is nearly more fun than my little heart can bear! :wink: :D

YUMMY

Tisha

That really is beautiful!!!

holy smokes, lori!!! That is amazing!!!!!!!!

Holy smokes is right I think they are all wonderful.

Lori that is stunning, how d'you do that? Nosy ppl have to know! :shock: :lol:

That's just beautiful Marilba. I just love those batiks!! And how clever the pinwheels are! Bettlove

Well..... the pattern was supposed to be strip pieced, but with the little buggers being only 1/4 inch finished, I wasn't having much luck, so I converted it into a paper piecing pattern and did each pie wedge separately, then sewed together. The circle is appliqued onto the squre background, then you are supposed to trim the under layer, but I'll leave it for now for extra strength through all the handling. Once it's back, I'll cut it out to reduce the bulk in the center circle.

Using the PP method made everything MUCH simpler. I've got the pattern for three sizes (this one is the smallest) if anyone is interested. You need a wedge ruler.

Awesome job everyone, I can't wait to see more.

will be watching all the sites to see how things progress

Can't wait to see yours :-)

Oh, you ladies have outdone yourselves! Beautiful centers. **clapping my hands in appreciation**

b.zang what pattern is that I love it. Haven't seen it before

Should I say that I have some ideas out on paper? and a few more in my head? Nothing actually sewn yet.

that is amazing I'd be going in circles by the time i got that center done.
it really is great.dizzy

Thanks Lori! I thought maybe it was seminole. Hey, PP! I can DO that now! :D

The block is called a lover's knot, although there are many with that name that look different! Here's a link to what I used (mine has been re-drawn to make it bigger)

Here is my label. The words are a little crooked, but I can live with that. Only a few days till mailing . . . .

Hmmm . . . guess I should've used the flash. Oh well, you get the idea.

Hey Group 7, looks like we're one of only 2 groups who haven't named ourselves. Any ideas??

Well I like each one, they are all really lovely.
LoriJ your center is so unique. Love it!
