Here's my first project... and , of course, there is a story to tell..
In my recent class with the fabulous Sally Collins , I learned the following:
1. Always plan out the entire quilt;
2. Make a mock-up so you can see the whole picture; and
3. Use mirrors to see what the overall effect will be...
SO - AM I DOING THOSE THINGS?????
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Instead, I brought home my little block, and started adding to it, gradually making it bigger and more complex... one step at the time...This next step is designed to provide a calm spot before another fit of mad piecing will occur - or at least that's what I think is going to happen!!! First I have to put all four sides on it. I'm not sure I like this part, but think it will balance out when I put the next step on.
Of course, if I had done what Sally said, and done a mockup, I would know, and not be guessing...
I realized today that I am doing a ROUND Robin - WITH MYSELF !!!
But I am havin' fun !!!!
Happy Fourth of July,
Kate
