Topic: Getting Ready (2/2) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month creative journey with Becky Goldsmith as we bring you "Sizzle," a stunning quilt designed especially for TQS.

Each month we will provide photos, detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, and full-size patterns. Becky has also created a selection of "how-to" videos to guide you along the way.

Let's use this Topic "Sizzle Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful Sizzle Blocks. That way, you know where to come to see what everyone is doing.
The topics that apply to each month are a good place to ask questions or make suggestions for each block.
AND when you post your photos to Social Media, like Instagram, Facebook, etc., use either of these hash tags so everyone there will be able to find our wonderful work:

Attached a photo of my indexed fabrics. For some reason it didn't upload to my last comment.... Attachments: IMG_201812...1549.jpg (38KB)

I just printed off everything that became available today and cut out the paper piecing templates. Watched all the videos this morning. Now I'm waiting for the dryer to finish and I'll start sewing!

Thanks Barbara for your helpful posts to this forum and, also, for your blogs. I did the 2017 BOM "Halo Medallion" and, because I had to start late, there many times I had to search through your blogs to find references for what I wanted to review.

Well, I am going to be more efficient for this BOM!
When I receive one of your blog emails, I am going to save it. I know you keep a reference to your blog posts on your website, but I think seeing the email will make my brain connect faster (pictures help...lol). I love that you include links too.

I will be using batik fabric that I purchased just for this beauty. I will receive the vellum tomorrow. I am a bit worried about how it will work in my printers. I have an ink jet and a laser. I would prefer to use the laser printer but have had problems with size changes when printing supplied PDF files. I love paper piecing, though not all methods of PP, so Becky's methods will be new for me. After watching her videos, I am sure I will like it. Maybe too much? I have never seen a PP pattern that has the "dots" and "dashes" that she uses.

Happy New Year!
