I know there are a lot of posts about this project, but we are working on it fast and furiously. This post is a milestone, I think, because I have 12 blocks made and you can see them all together.
One of the things I like about seeing them all together is I can see what fabrics I need to repeat.
I also like seeing them because it makes me feel like I have been making some progress. I *know* I am making progress, but it is great to see the progress.
I actually have an additional 4 blocks made, as of this writing, but I am experiencing a shortage of design wall space right at the moment so you will have to wait until that clears up to see them all.
I have to say that I am tempted to start sewing all the different blocks into chunks just to get them in some kind of order. The layout is pretty clear; it would just be a matter of deciding what goes where. I’ll need a lot more 8″ squares before I can make any real progress in the layout, though.
It’s very interesting o see our progress, hear your about your process. Thank you for sharing.
I love the process of quiltmaking. I love to finish projects and not have them hanging around, but I also love placing fabrics and figuring out where to put them. Thanks for reading.
They look really yummy together! I specifically like the dark pink fabric (with the 9 patch blue/white X in the middle) 🙂
That one does stand out, but I like it, too. I saw a similar pattern that Camille Roskelley made and may make another one just to put the fabrics in different places.
The star in the top left corner is not working with the others, for me. What do you thiknk? Maybe move it? Are you making more like that?
That is the first block I made, Valerie, and I don’t think I was quite in the groove of this project yet. Some of the background is in the wrong place and the green is very close to the background. It may have to be changed out eventually, but I have 40 8″ blocks to make and 81 4″ blocks to make, so I am going to wait and see how it looks once all the other blocks are made.
