I love the bright colors of the hand dyed fabrics paired with the black. This is going to be my lap quilt... someday. Right now, I need to put them away before I really screw them up and get even MORE frustrated with them. All four of them are four different sizes. I just don't get it. The pattern tells me I should have a 12.5" square block once all the bits and pieces are put together. Not even close, sister. I think my largest is 12" and my smallest falls somewhere are 11" something. It's those hourglass pieces, I'm telling you, that's throwing me off.
But I like them because they are all cheery looking; even with the black. A friend of mine told me to try starching them before cutting on the bias. That may help. I'll give it a try. But not today and probably not next week either.
The colors in the pictures aren't quite right. The green is nice and bright. Looks a bit dull here.
Enjoy your day!

My camera always changes the vibrance of my material, too. I think you are doing a good job here.
ReplyDeleteArrrggghhh - don't you just HATE it when things don't come together? I feel your pain - still working on that d@mn dress for my daughter!
ReplyDeleteYeah, put it away for a while and think nice thoughts about it!
Put it away for a while then go back to it. You'll look at it with new eyes, and I'll bet you'll figure out what's going on with it.

I love those colors!
Sometimes you just have to walk away for a while Jen. I do love the colors.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are beautiful Jen. And I really like that block pattern. Is that first block actually sewn together? Maybe it's just the blocks lying there? 'Cause... ;-)
