Hello Everyone,
A box of fabric arrived from Marcus Fabrics. I start to hyperventilate when I see a Marcus box on my doorstep. The fabric is called Loire Valley by Karen Stiles. I stared, petted, folded and refolded the fabrics for two days.
Then I made this block.....my first attempt at half of an 8-point star. I took my time, and the seams lined up beautifully. Before I began, I read several tutorials online, and in books. I came up with a couple of hints of my own that I will share with you in a tutorial. Those "pointy bits" as Quilt Sue would say, can be a little tricky.
My focus will be from this side of the palette.
Soon,
Lynn
Oh what beautiful fabric, and your block is perfect! Have a lovely retreat!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful block and fabrics.Have fun playing with them!
ReplyDeleteI can totally see why you might be hyperventilating Lynn - those fabrics are stunners!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, you must be careful with your pointy bits!
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping my "Pointy Bits" on top of my head this week! Cackle! Cackle! I didn't scroll down and see your beautful basket until I had studied the prints. Lo' & Behold you used two of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that basket!
Ohhhhh....love the new fabrics! I could probably use some tips on pointy bits from Sue, too! Happy to hear you're almost ready for the retreat! What would you do without Mr. Joe!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
