The star and pinwheel block is the one I was thinking about! It's so striking with that tiny black print! I love it.
I forgot, there's that word again, to ask you how you piece so perfectly - is it with a 1/4" foot while being so young at quilting? If you had PP'd those blocks they would not have turned out any better - that's how precise your piecing is - so you don't really need PPing unless you do a NYBeauty or something similar to that.
talk later. n2.
Hi everybody! I thought I would post this PM so that every one would see it and the answers.
The tiny black print in the Star and Pinwheel block is actually a navy blue. I love that block. It is so pretty.
As for how I "piece so perfectly", I pin everything to avoid it slipping when I sew. I don't have a 1/4" foot but I would love to get one! I just took my sewing machine out to the quilt store here so they could tell me what kind to get, low shank, high shank, or slant? I really don't know much about sewing machines, other than how to use them.
I really don't know why my blocks usually turn out pretty good. I just assumed that everyone's did like mine.
Now I have a question. What is a NY Beauty? Post a picture if you can. I want to thank everybody on this site for their compliments and interest in my quilts. It is fun to share and receive your messages. Hope you enjoy this as much as I do!! Have a Great Day!
