I really like the scrappy scrappy that I am seeing by other quilters but for me this will just have to be a little on the controlled side. I was a little low on red and blue scraps but managed to get a fairly good variety for the string blocks in previous steps. My blacks are really lacking and I am having to duplicate in several steps.
I am confident that I will love the final top and am not worried about only having a dozen different lights/darks.
I found a piece of red that had been on the shelf way to long. It was die cut and will be the centers of all my stars.
yours turned out really nice, I don't like how mine turned out, I used blue instead of black and both light and dark blue doesn't look too good, maybe it will be okay in the big scheme of things..... SIGH
ReplyDeleteyours look really great
ReplyDeletevery nice Cheryl! I'm still stuck on step 4 (red strings). Christmas got in the way but I have 10 days off now, some of which will be used to catch up! I'm loving what I'm seeing so far.
ReplyDeleteLove the way your blocks turned out Cheryl. "Controlled Scrappy" is my preference as well.
ReplyDeleteYour controlled blocks look great....you could call this quilt ' My Controlled Mystery'
ReplyDeleteOooohh! I love your blocks! Especially your light background! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are great! And mine have a little 'control' issue, too. Mainly because of working with a very limited number of color variations. But I was determined to make do with what was available in my stash.
