As I've been making these, I have been trying to decide whether I want to join them in the traditional manner, or try something different that I can do with the sewing machine. I'm leaning toward the sewing machine after this week.

Very cool stars! You could applique those to some plain blocks and end up with a very nice quilt, table runner, wall hanging. Looking forward to seeing where you ended up with these.
ReplyDeleteThat's my plan. I want to use something different for the background blocks, something darker than cream and with a light pattern. It's totally out of my comfort zone to use anything except a plain fabric, usually white or cream. But the blocks are busy and seem even more so against white. I thought appliqued to a light patterned block might tone them down. What do you think?
DeleteBeautiful stars. Only one more to go and we'll see what you end up with!!!
ReplyDeleteOnly one more black one. I've got a few more blocks going in other colors too.
DeleteThank you for your inspiration and link to Show and Tell Monday / Bambi
ReplyDeleteBlack on black is difficult for me to see too. I hope you soon find EPP relaxing again! I've been making a busload of hexies, but haven't started sewing them together yet. I need to just jump in and do it. Thanks for sharing your post on MCM. It's just the inspiration I need!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I started on another color and it is much better than the black. Whew! If they were all the black, I think I'd have to give up.
