CCCQ Perspective

 I have most of this block done except for the 8 squigglies that go around the center.
This block will finish at 24" square and is the largest single block I have appliqued and have learned a few things.

• The angle at which you take the picture can make all the difference in how it looks when posted.
• Centering the pattern on a print is a good idea.
• Centering the pattern on an uneven print is not always easy to do.

 

• It is a good idea to be careful when outlining the center of the pattern as it will show every mistake when stitched.
• It is difficult to see a blue Frixion pen marking on a red and gold print especially when you forget to mark part of it.
• It is easy to make mistakes when reverse appliqueing a center when you cannot see the markings clearly.
• I will redo the lower left corner of the center because that is the only thing I can see on this block for now.

Otherwise, I am really quite happy with the whole thing. I am off to Poland tomorrow to meet with relatives for the very first time ever and will be gone for 2 weeks. I have prepped several blocks to take with me to work on. These ones have freezer paper ironed onto the back. I glued under some of the seam allowances and will needle turn other parts.

 When I get back from Poland, I will be going to the Quilt Farm www.quiltfarm.net for a retreat I had organized last winter. Cannot miss the opportunity to be locked away in a quilt shop for a whole weekend with my bestest quilting friends. I will be working on Dear Jane corner kites.

Blessings,
