laurieschierer OFFLINE Posts: 22 Thank you received: 100	LOL, I thought I knew just what I was going to do until I saw your layout JanaPratt! LOVE it. While I've done too many with white to 'dismiss' them,I am thinking I just have to try your setting. I think it really makes the most of both the beauty of the blocks as well as the beauty of the Kaffes! THanks

I love scrappy quilts, but I prefer the star setting here. It quiets the impact just enough Diane

I have only done 4 blocks so far because my sewing room was invaded by a mosquito (I am allergic to mosquito bites, yikes. lol) and so I sewed these 4 by hand instead of machine.
Now that I started them by hand, and enjoyed doing the handwork, I may just finish the rest of the blocks the same way. It will take me longer to get all my blocks done, but it's relaxing doing the handwork and I like it.

I used the Kaffe fabric as the focal point in the blocks so far, and may do some filler blocks with the Kaffe in snowball blocks, not sure as I haven't gotten that far into the process yet.

For Alex Anderson: I started watching this video series on Facebook while in the hospital. Unfortunately, I was unable to take notes. I saw that you had made notes on the Quick and Easy Block Tool book. Have these notes been posted? They looked important, and I hesitate to purchase the book unless I can access them. Thanks very much!

The notes are Alex's notes to herself, they have not been posted. Everything she has to teach has been shown in the videos. The book also has a lot of great info, look in the back.

pines OFFLINE Posts: 84 Thank you received: 269	I am now playing with settings for my blocks/ Even though I have eight blocks left cut out and sew. Thus far I have come up with three possible settings. My favorite of the three is the one with the fish all going in the same direction. Any thoughts? pines/elaine fish one direction stars fish in two directions

lbest3 OFFLINE Posts: 2 Thank you received: 10	Always wanted to work with Kaffe fabrics. Couldn't wait to cut into them, so I used them with the solids in the blocks. So much fun!
