Since I made that UFO list, UFO's are on my mind and I can't seem to get them out of my mind. So I have started on finishing some.
I started yesterday with my halloween quilt. Here is a picture were I just fused the applique parts on the quilt. I now have appliqued it using my new machine...(jippie)
Here is a pciture of my Double Wedding Ring quilt I started a long time ago. I used the quiltsmart way. http://www.quiltsmart.com You make the arces and fuse them onto square 12" blocks and later applique the arces and putting the blocks together into a quilt. As you can see in the conors of the blocks you make small triangles, that when you put 4 blocks together turn into a square. The posistion of the triangles are very precise to make the block square when you put 4 together which is extra hard because of the arcs give a lot of bulk..
Now I have the following idea:
I want to draw all the blocks onto one big piece of background fabric, so I know were the arcs are supossed to go and applique them. And then applique a 4-patch over the place were now the big green triangel is.
What do you think, is this a good idea or does somebody have a better one?
Since I didn't like the big green squares in the middle that were just inpossible to get square I stopped so I hope this works. When I went back to this project today I found out after counting that I allready have enough arcs for a 60 by 60 inch quilt without the borders!
bye!
