... is tomorrow and Jayne will be our hostess this month, over
here.
I couldn't wait, so I thought I'd show you what I've done so far. Yesterday I finally decided on the fabrics and their placement, and actually made a mock-up of one diamond, and here it is.
The next thing I had to work out was how many strips of which colour to cut. Being difficult you see, I was using a pattern for a six colour quilt, with four fabrics. I got that worked out this morning, put a lovely new blade in my cutter, and set to. I cut all the black, then the red, then came to the brown. Oh-oh, bit of a problem here! I've cut four strips out of six. I don't think I'll get two more out of this, do you? Quick trip to the computer and found that my favourite UK shop still had some in stock. I placed the order, and they were so quick that within 30 mins I had an email to say my order had been despatched. Pheww.
So I carried on cutting, and this is where I have got to. Tomorrow I will start sewing. Yippee.
Hi Sue!! Wonderful fabric, love the colors! If you and I aren't distantly related, I will be surprised. We just have too much in common!! running out of a certain fabric in the middle of cutting a project is something I specialize in!! Haha!! Is some mysterious force at work here??
ReplyDeleteSo, I've posted my "teaser" about tomorrow's big day. Looking forward to it!
Been there, done that, Sue! Full Circle by Kathy Schmitz is one of my favorite fabric lines and I stocked up on it! You're going to have a gorgeous Lone Star!
