Nothing like a bit of yellow and orange to cheer oneself up...particularly paired with a spot and a bit of text....
So where are we going with this? Back in this post, I mentioned that the kit for the "Sunburst" Quilt (Making Quilts ...promise of joy by Kathy Doughty), may be in my cupboard. I have been a bit scared of the all those pointy points and circular circles, so I busted out the templates from the kit and decided to have a go.
The block has come together surprisingly easy, and my points seem to be pointy!
The centre was a bit fiddly, but I am confident I can master it with better pinning, sewing the large circle into the floral background was very straight forward because it is a larger circle...
So maybe I should start on the kit!!! Sixteen blocks....it's a bit of a commitment! I might think about it for a bit more :)
I love that block - but 16 of them... That is commitment!
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty! I love it with the text background, and your points couldn't be pointier!
