In EQ7 this block is called Nameless (it’s Barbara Brackman number is 2047). I don’t know if that means that its name is ‘Nameless’ or that it doesn’t have a name. It is possible that the name is just not in EQ, though they are pretty good, so I think that is unlikely. If it doesn’t have a name, that is kind of sad. I think it looks like a prism or a crystal, so that is what I am calling it. I’ll look it up sometime and see.<\/p>\n

I am, however, not making as much progress as I wanted. I really wanted to make all 12 blocks over the holiday weekend, so I would be caught up. That isn’t going to happen, though, I have made a dent.<\/p>\n

I also have to select the next four blocks to make and I haven’t even begun to think about that.<\/p>\n

I have to say that my attempts at choosing fabrics were a bit feeble before I started making blocks. I am using the fabrics from the group I chose<\/a> early on, but I have been finding that I have to add to them as well. I grabbed that light purple dot for this block and have used it in one other. I also have a batik that I think I will add to the group. I didn’t have enough darks (but I think I knew that), so I have added some darker solids. I don’t want to overwhelm the aquas and light purples, so I am trying to use them judiciously.<\/p>\n

This is an excellent exercise in contrasts and in making sure that the stars are crisp.<\/p>\n

We are working on on the Oh My Stars quilt-a-long<\/a>, though it was started awhile ago and everyone else is done!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
