Okay, so I know this isn't Saturday and you think this block doesn't look like teal fabrics. Actually, it is teal fabrics - not my favorite collection of teals, with a very grayish tinge. Part of the blame is on the camera and the lighting and the photographer.
I decided to use a dry iron this time. I've been having trouble with the squares wrinkling up and I can't get it to press out. Using a dry iron helped avoid that issue, but I just don't get a nice, crisp pressing.
I also figured it was time to include a pic of all the 16-patch star blocks made so far. I am so tempted to begin quilting them QAYG style. Thankfully, (or not) I am in the midst of several other projects, but you understand how you need to get in some quilting therapy between piecing sessions.
I'll be linking up to Soscrappy where you can visit all the other Scraphappy Saturday participants.
Oh, I'm just loving this! It looks great all together like that and I'm glad you posted it. I have that block on my list to try, and now I'll double my efforts! I'll just set myself up for a leader/ender project to get it done!
ReplyDeleteThose are some fabulous looking blocks!! What a great use of scraps.
ReplyDeleteI love how your blocks look together! What size are your blocks? I need to make a quilt for my niece and I love your block.
ReplyDeleteYour rainbow star blocks are really looking nice together. I love the star block.
ReplyDeleteThese blocks finish at 16 inches square. A set of 12 blocks will make a comfy lap quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love the way your blocks look together.
ReplyDeleteI am loving these blocks!
ReplyDeletethis gives ma a great idea for a guild BOM for some year....this block and pick a different color each month!!!

They all look so pretty and well done, you have some good skills because the patterns and colors go very well with this fabric. I especially like the one with purple and the one with orange reminds me of autumn, I love it. I wait to see more of your work.
