I'll certainly be waiting for the tutorial, too!

I even did a half day course and all I got to show for my trouble was a crooked, pathetic little poppy!

:shock: I bought a book, needles and loads of ribbons (cost a fortune!) so I'm waiting here with baited breath for your tute - I'm sure you'll explain loads better than the French lady I went to! Oh poor Elle - you really shouldn't have said that! I'll nag you senseless now! :lol:[/quote]

Well that was because she was French and you couldnīt understand her. lol. That is the only thing with silk ribbons they are so expensive, but I love the results and it grows fast as well.
Sending you a PM.

Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments it made all the probs I had with it worthwhile. I have to tell you I had to do it twice as I cut it wrong the first time :hunf: so off it all came and I bought some more fabric and started again.

Thanks Cutebuns, I was lucky as I had a big area to work on for the first round, that makes a lot of difference.
Glad you like it.

The space and where the quilt is at has a lot to do with what you can do with it, this first round for the most part was simple, at least for me, but I am sure that by the time the next few rounds go by that it will get more involved, I will be looking forward to see what comes out of Spain, your group will be working on my snowflakes, I can't wait to see what they come up for it.

Elle, it is stunning, and I want to thank you so much for all your hard work on my behalf, I love it, love it, love it - thank you so much!!!!!!! I am kicking myself that I have been out all day and only just found it! Thank you again, my delft quilt has just grown up.

Elle...you started it....now we'll all be waiting for the tute! Do you have to get that ribbon from Africa????? :shock:

Lacelady

Oh, Elle, I am so sorry you had so many problems - you must have been tearing your hair out. I hope you can use what you took off so it doesn't go to waste. I can't thank you enough, because it is so lovely, I shall really enjoy sleeping under it some time next year!

It is GREAT! You didn't know that friendship stars are one of my favorite little blocks, did you? That is just really special!
I have to ask .. did you use the Joan Hawley Lazy Angle to make the gold stars? and, thank you for making the square into a rectangle ... I think you succeeded magnificently!
Now I have to go back to last minute finishing touches ... today did not work out like I had planned ... :oops: :oops:
