This is last week's lesson for Delightful Stars. I'm ready to start on this week's today.
I like the orange against the black background--not a color choice I use very often but it turned out well.
I started making "practice" blocks after Kathy mentioned how much easier it made the "real" blocks.
These are the 1st four of those. Most of them were catch-up, so not really practice. From now on, I'll use muslin and scraps to practice the technique for the week and then I'll use my batiks and black background.
The scrappy quilts have a whole different feel, but I really like them--more like an everyday quilt versus a quilt on the guest bed feeling. I'm going to love both of them. Have you started on the Leah Day quilt-along yet? I've made the first block and practiced the quilting for the 1st, but I haven't done any actual quilting yet. I think the large size quilt patterns are harder than doing fmq on a smaller scale.
