You might remember the drama of the first Ribbon Star. You also might remember that I made the star over using half square triangles rather than parallelograms.
I have to admit that I never really liked the new version, which you can see on the right of the above picture. I used it, because I had no choice, but I didn’t really like that particular lavender fabric.
Finally, I decided that I would remake the first block. The first block had a lot of problems, not the least of which was that the parts were a variety of different sizes. I unsewed all the squares, rearranged some of the colors and resewed them so that the block, basically, fit together. Many of the seam allowances are so far short of 1/4″ that I really worry about their integrity.
Still I am really happy that I get to use the original version of the block.
Glad you are happier, but I am not a fan of this one. It it caused YOU so much trouble, I am not gonna tackle it!
How not a fan? Not a fan of the look? Or the complexity?
It just doesn’t give me a sense of symetry or balance or something. Maybe too many different fabrics?
I guess I didn’t achieve the 3D look I was going for.
