Update on Creation Project

It’s time to turn my full attention to incorporating the panels into a quilt. After perusing my Quilter’s Recipes book, I settled on a block called “A” Star Variation.

This version of a nine-patch block is described as Easy. I notice that the book shows a small quilt made with four blocks. This would work very well for my four panels. A secondary design is revealed right in the block’s middle. I have a good idea for an embellishment on that location.

As of today, I have all the patches cut and assembled.

The middle rows of each block, featuring the applique patch, are sewn up.

The next step is to assemble the first block. This will be a true test of my cutting and piecing skills.

It looks…………okay. The three-piece triangle blocks show my weakness in cutting and matching points. I’m not bothered sufficiently by the block’s wonkiness to take it apart and re-make those patches. But I will double-check the remaining patches of that type for accuracy and size.

Soon the assembly will be done, and I can move forward to making surface designs, which will make me happy. I also plan to add a double border using dark teal and rust red fabrics. Those fabrics are visible in the upper left corner of this block.

Have a great day. It’s nice here – I plan to take a walk.
