Things don't always run smoothly in the sewing room!
Sometimes while making a quilt there comes a point where I begin to 2nd guess things, and this project was one of those times. I used Economy Stars Parade pattern by Rachel @stitchedincolor as my starting point and spent a bit of time trying to work out a nice (smaller) version. It seemed like a good plan, you know, simple piecing & quick to put together, until I came back to it the next morning. The white stars looked Too Much!
Time for plan B. I still want some connection to the original pattern - a fun mix of scrappy square-in-a-square blocks with star blocks - so I'm trying a different layout now.
This is all looking a bit more exciting now!
So, yes, it is going to be a bit bigger than I first thought and yes, it will take a bit longer to put together
- but I’ll be much happier and that’s what it’s all about ... right?
I'm linking up today's post with my two favourite linky parties, see R) side bar.
Sometimes a bit bigger is just the ticket 😉
ReplyDeleteYou just never know where a pattern will take you. Great to try different ideas.
