Things are finally starting to settle down again. I decided on this sashing solution for the Carpenter's Star blocks. It uses up some of the extra HST and extends the pattern to help the blocks join. I am starting to see a nice secondary diamond where all of the blocks come together. It also will make the quilt slightly larger, which is a bonus. Given the block size, it is harder to get things to fit. With smaller blocks it is easy to add an extra row or two, but these stars are giant! There should be time today to finish the rest. I have a few housekeeping things to do and a couple of work tasks to catch up on, but generally things are settling down again to a more normal level. The post hurricane craziness has settled. How are your scraps coming together? I must admit to being completely out of contact with the world lately. I look forward to catching up on that today as well.
What a cool original idea for your sashing! I can't wait to see how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteYour Carpenter's Stars are looking really neat with the extra HSTs added all the way around! Glad you can enjoy some sewing this weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the "sashing" between the blocks. I love the secondary pattern it produces. I think I love the block even more now. Fantastic! ;^)
ReplyDeleteExcellent setting solution, Angela!! I can see the diamonds beginning to emerge. LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteHi Angela! Glad things are settling down for you post-hurricane. Your sashing solution is brilliant! It’s going to be a lovely top!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use a few more scraps and increase the size of your block! I love it when there are secondary patterns created when blocks are joined!
ReplyDeleteYour carpenter star blocks look great!
ReplyDeleteVery fun setting solution! It's going to have some interesting patterns in the final version. Glad things are settling down and back into mostly normal.
ReplyDeleteI like the extra border you added to your blocks!
