The final 4 Saturday Sampler blocks for this month are done. Sawtooth Stars are such quick and easy blocks to make when they are 12" finished. No small pieces are a part of this year's Saturday Sampler project. All of the blocks are finishing at 12".
There are now 18 of these Twinkler blocks, with 3 more cut out and ready to sew this week. The blue is all from a jelly roll, but the backgrounds are scrappy white-on-white prints.
The "Create" banner is all sewn together. Unless I decide to add a border around the outside before quilting it. I think it needs something.
It's long and narrow, only about 8" tall but about 37" long. I had to cut the top and bottom background borders narrower than the pattern called, because I ran out of fabric. So now I'm toying with the idea to add about a 2" border with a brown print very similar in scale to the colorful ones in the letters. These are all in that realm of 30s reproductions, which I love.
On the far right end is a tiny (6") sewing machine block. Those yellow strips are for the binding. The letters and the sewing machine are all from the Spelling Bee book by Lori Holt. I have no plan yet on how I want to quilt this banner, but I'm sure something will come to mind.
Nice projects!
ReplyDeleteThe 12" stars in solids will allow for some nifty quilting patterns. I like the blue-and-white blocks a lot.
ReplyDeleteyour just moving long nicely!!! LOVE those star blocks and the colors!
ReplyDeleteVery fun projects. You made quick work of that banner. That red sewing machine is really cute.
ReplyDeleteYour Create banner is so cute! I especially love the sewing machine block. A final outer border sounds perfect!
