Topic: Block 1 Sizzle (4/5) - 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:

kathyst2 OFFLINE Posts: 873 Thank you received: 84	I just printed a test of the foundation from Adobe reader, 100% was a hair too small. I tried 102% and it looks perfect. Just read the post about cutting the pieces for the outer circle a bit bigger and I think I will do that also. Maybe it's good to be a slow starter, so i can find out what other people are running into! Kathy

Here is my completed Block 1.
I like all aspects of Becky's design and her instructions and videos with the exception of: the size for the background fabric. I have made enough circle in a square designs that I should have gone with my gut and NOT cut all of my fabric to her specifications. I like to have a bit more on the outside edge so that I can square up and have an easier time when sewing the blocks together. Sigh. Might be purchasing some more fabric...
Maybe others can learn from this...
but I do like my colors!!

glacerda OFFLINE Posts: 145 Thank you received: 74	I love it. Are your going to use a different colorway for each block? I am thinking about doing that but not sure how it would look.
