I'm excited about this project, It's so out of my wheel house! I think it's like eating peanuts, you can't stop. I haven't put anything together, I want to have all the blocks completed and then arrange them. I took Alex's advice with the Kaffte blocks. I've decided to do them in 1/4 square triangles instead of just plain square blocks, This has been an amazing learning experience for me. Another bit of great advice from Alex, I watched Sally Collins video on precision piecing. There are things in her video I never knew, it is making a huge difference in the way things are going together (not always), And, this is free!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I love that you used Kaffe fabric in the centre of your block. It really jazzed things up.

I used ‘reply to a topic’ to post, not just reply. On my thread yours looks the same, to me at least. I like the Kaffes in the middle of your blocks. I have no idea what I’m going to do with mine. I’m not used to all this color! I keep assuming I’m going to hate the results, but am trying to be hopeful. The process has been fun.

Playing around with arrangement of the blocks

Very nice

Is the only way to post on this forum to reply to a post? I do not see any way to post a question or comment. I just finished two blocks and used the Kaffe fabrics in the centers because I do not know how we are going to use the fabrics. Love Alex's videos so far because I am a novice quilter!

I learned you have to watch which way you sew your pinwheels when putting 4 together to get them to end the way you want them....
My pinwheels at bottom the one with the red at the very bottom has the end product I wanted. (After resewing one pinwheel.)

So I"m not sure if my plan is working. We'll take some playing with arrangements. Oops I forgot to include my pinwheels.

It isn't possible to see if someone has made a comment to your post. You can see how many say "thank you"--to me that's the same as "Like" on Facebook. if someone aswers your question and starts with your name, that really helps--you can see that as you look through the posts. And you will get an email any time someone posts on the Topic you posted on, unless you turn that off by Unsubscrbing--there are many posts being made on this Topic right now so some people prefer to turn that off. I look at each one and can easily click on the link if it is a post I think I should answer--like this one!

Here is a link to a 6 minute video showing how to had photos and use the Forum:

Feel free to ask questions. Once we learn how to use the Forum, it seems easy. And a new website is under construction--stay tuned for that in the near future.

This is the layout I've been playing with today.

Great color choice!

Love those fabrics, especially your white.... and your points are perfect!

Look at all those perfect points!
