Topic: Block 1 Sizzle (3/5) - 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:

hollyminer OFFLINE Posts: 84 Thank you received: 63	"Can you see any design differences between my Cool and Warm?" Hi Barbara, Yes, I see that you turned the inside circle so that the diamond points are oriented to top/bottom/sides of the background fabric. Those are lucky folks who live close enough to you to be in your class!

HelenW OFFLINE Posts: 604 Thank you received: 1621	Barbara, The only difference I noticed between the warm and cool design is the warm has the red star point going to the top center and the the cool has the wedge point going toward the top center. I love the fact you share so much valuable info with the quilting world. I have never met a quilter that I did not think was a great person! And you are definitely one of them. Thank you. Helen W

I am making two Sizzle Quilts this year. The Cool Kit is used to create the monthly blog I write, available on the first of each month. The Warm quilt uses my own combination of fabrics--it is used for class demos and step-outs. I am teaching this to two monthly classes, with a total of 39 students. We meet for two hours and I show all the steps--they sew at home. They are all Star Members.

Can you see any design differences between my Cool and Warm?

bbquiltmaker OFFLINE Posts: 1498 Thank you received: 1762	Kathy, there is always that when others can share that they learned. As long as the curve in the Block Corners is accurate, it does not matter how big you make the outside edge--you can always cut that down later. I only cut the Block corners I needed for Block 1--I didn't see the need to do all that cutting now and have to keep those pieces safe over the whole year.

bbquiltmaker OFFLINE Posts: 1498 Thank you received: 1762	karymlr, your block is beautiful. Next month you will be a bit faster--the process is similar, so this one is the learning curve block.

karymlr OFFLINE Posts: 17 Thank you received: 46	I love paper piecing so thought I'd give this a try. This block took me about 9 or 10 hours to complete over 3 days...not too bad for a monthly assignment. Hopefully I can hang for the entire project this year Attachments: BOMJan19.jpg (85KB)
