Back to business, as I posted a day or two ago, I have worked on this all week.
 |
| #039 "Simple Tribute"from pattern by Alice Berg published in June 2003 American Patchwork & Quilting. |
Here are a couple of close-up pics of some areas:
 |
| My way of easy 'mitering'. The pattern did not call for mitering, but I wanted the directional print to be mitered, so this is how I did it. |
 |
| Interesting how the gold star tends to look more like an 'X' or plus-sign on point and the white star (see below) doesn't so much. |
 |
| I have loved this white tone-on-tone for years. I used it in a windmill block quilt since the geometric reminded me of windmill blades. That little bit of blue with the wavy line to the right of the bottom sashing piece, that's what I used in the sashing and border of the first quilt I made like this (#029). |
And actually ON my design wall? Well,, that would be these little blocks ... scrappy spools! They will finish at 3" and by the time I have actually said 'enough are enough', I will probably have enough for several quilts. But that's still a long way off in the future. I'm doing these as leaders/enders.
What's on your design wall? I think I'll check over at Patchwork Times and find out :)
