\"FOTY<\/a>Here is your first glimpse of the FOTY 2010 patches. I have pressed a lot of fabric, but haven’t cut it yet. Many of the patches in this photo have been on my design wall for awhile. I have been moving them around so I can see how they look in different arrangements. It is definitely different.<\/p>\n

Not different as in “I wish I had chosen something different,” but different in the way I have to think about cutting the patches.<\/p>\n

This patch takes a lot of fabric to cut. I like the diamond ruler<\/a> I bought to help. Once I got the hang of using it, I found it to be quite useful. I am ending up with a lot of triangles and may pick a background and sew them on to squares to make the Corner Store design I discussed in the Pretty Little Mini Quilts review<\/a>. It would make an interesting sort of scrap quilt. We’ll see.<\/p>\n

Starting this cutting process is also making me think about how I will arrange them and set these diamonds. I am thinking of picking something for the border and cutting half diamonds to make a straight edge out of a uniform color. I need to decide if I want to use something I already have or if the “rules” say I have to buy something. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
