Yay! I've sewn all my Stained blocks!
There's just a few little things bugging me now that I've laid them out...
1. the blocks that feature the 3 characters in jars/ baskets are next to each other (middle row, left)
2. there are 2 blocks with the candle print in a large vertical piece in the same row (4th from top)
3. also, 2 blocks that show the magic carpet and horse are next to each other (bottom right corner)
4. maybe it should be bigger? 5 more blocks would make it square...
And a larger question: what should I do for the back??? I could play it safe and just use black. I could try to make it more interesting by making some extra blocks like the front - maybe enough for 1 column? It would hide the need for a pieced back; however that option would also spark my perfectionist tendencies. I was thinking that it would be cool to have the patterns be mirror images of the front column, and then quilting in the sashing would line up on both sides! Is that a good idea? (I mean quilting in the sashing?) Another idea I have is to buy invisible thread and then quilt around each shape somehow...
Any thoughts?
In other news, I'm really excited for the Madison Modern Quilt Guild meeting this Wednesday night!
Hi, were you following the fabric placement guide? I notice you have a different layout too.
ReplyDeleteSome of the people who have made it have made it bigger, and it looks great, so thats an option. I do like the sound of quilting in the sashing :-)
