. . . and jumping around the layout.
One pieced, one foundation-pieced, and 2 pieced and appliqued.

I saved this one till last because all those points were intimidating. But I'm happy to report the block actually turned out to be the correct size!

This block was foundation-pieced and the red fabric in the center once belonged to Natalie :) The more I do the smarter I get. E.g. after printing the instructions I measure each unit to make sure the crosswise width will finish at 9". In this case, I added the width of an hourglass + square + hourglass + square + hourglass and it was short. Almost always I have to enlarge the file to 103% on my printer which is what I did.

It looks like I'll be making another one of these. I just spotted it above the red star in the bottom row. Not sure I'm happy with the way the center circle looks after trimming away 4 layers of fabric--base, large white circle, red circle, small white circle.

This star was pieced in pairs of diamonds then appliqued to the background.
Another amazing sunset!
Have a great week!

I looked right off at that star pattern and though, oh, my goodness. 16 points coming together! It turned out fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYou do such meticulous work. I don't see anything that needs a redo, but you are the judge. They are each so precise to my eye.
