I felt that the center needed a bit of breathing room, so I decided to incorporate a lot of white in my round. While I was pondering, I came across these images for Rita Hutchens' class on zig-zags and chevrons. Pretty, pretty! I haven't taken her class, so I'm not sure what her method is, but I just made strips and cut them on the bias. It worked out just fine, although my method wasted a lot of white fabric.
Even with the strip piecing, this took a loooong time. I calculated that there are more than 450 pieces of fabric in my round. Bee mates. I know I said one month for next round, but I forgot that the rounds are getting bigger & bigger. Let's go back to 2 months for the last round, k?
I hope you like it, Kathleen!
WOW! I love what did with your round. So gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteOH MY! I LOVE IT! Yep, so excited about it I had to raise my voice. There are so many great little details in your row. I love the thin dark line between the purples. I love the points coming out. Just awesome!
ReplyDeleteRuth, I am in awe as I look at your beautiful round! I am so fortunate that each person has taken the quilt top to the next level.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your work.
And I agree that 2 months per round makes much more sense.
You are THE best!
