I have 12 different colors, 6 squares of each and I still need to make my boarder, it is not a complete finish, but I did finish all the squares. I am very nervous about cutting these to make them bounce as the pattern states. I put the breaks on and look at these daily just have not done anything yet.
Thanks for stopping by, would love to hear if any of you have made this pattern and how you finished it. Wishing you all quilty hugs. ~ Heide

whoomp there it is.
These little blocks are so fresh and cheery - I love 'em!
ReplyDeleteThis is super cute! I love your colorful sparkly ✨ stars!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric in those stars! Really cute.
ReplyDeleteLoving those star blocks - especially in Paperweight - just can't beat Kaffe for great colours in his fabric designs!
ReplyDeleteLove those cute little stars. I would probably have a hard time cutting them to bounce as well. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThose are such gorgeous blocks! I can see why you are resisting cutting into them.... They are perfect as they are! As a suggestion, you could add a strip to the blocks and then lay them out with that strip alternating in direction to "make them bounce". This would result in them being spaced out further and make for a larger quilt.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge Kaffe fan, but have always loved this Paperweight design, and they look fantastic in your blocks! As Lorna said, rather than cutting up the blocks, I would add sashing to each one amnd cut that up, then if you're not happy you can take off the sashing, and you still have your blocks intact. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThese are just beautiful, I'm not surprised you're reluctant to cut into them, and I have to say I hope you don't! I love them just as they are, and you're right, they are a perfect antidote to the post Holiday blues.
