Topic: SIZZLE SHOW AND TELL (23/34) - 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:

Month 4 complete but not without some serious drama! As I had showed earlier, I am basing all my colors and designs around a stained glass window. This months design lent itself best to duplicating (artistically) the center of the window. Using the line drawings from month one, I colored in the pieces. Transferred that to the actual paper pieces and proceeded. It wasn't until they were all pieced and I layed them out that I realized the colors had reversed. (Oops, the right side of the pattern is the wrong side of the sewn piece!). I went ahead and finished the block but was not happy with it. I also really struggled with the center circle, (did I mention I am doing this ¾ size?). Although I understand why Becky chose to put the circle in the middle, in the case of this block I really wanted the center seamless. Thank you ajclapp for posting your version without the center circle!
With many more Y-seams, I redid block 4 to my satisfaction. In the words of Bob Ross “We don't make mistakes, we just have happy accidents.” and “Believe that you can do it cause you can do it.”

HelenW OFFLINE Posts: 604 Thank you received: 1621	Martina 57, I used mostly Hoffman 1890 series tone on tone batiks that were in my stash. The black is Kona Jet Black which I just love how true black it is. My inspiration was thinking could a pieced design be made from a line drawing of the pattern, using raw edge appliqué for the pieces and just edge stitching them. I had never tried it, but it worked well. HelenW

HelenW OFFLINE Posts: 604 Thank you received: 1621	I just finished my experiment to make a wall hanging from the line drawing in month one. I am happy with the way it turned out. Now I just need to quilt it. I am thinking just grid quilting in the black areas around the blocks and echo quilting around the border appliqués. Not sure about the actual colored circle areas.

My Block 4. I didn't want the center diamonds to be pieced so I did some fussy cutting and extra y-seams. Time consuming but worth it. I may quit at block 5 and do a different layout. I don't have a lot of time to sew these days. Hopefully this is just temporary as I have a lot of unfinished projects and a lot more I want to do.

I just happened to have some Fixxons Waterproof screen positive film that I use for another purpose. It works great for templates. And I have a cold laminator so was able to apply repositionable adhesive to the back. You could also use basting adhesive or double stick tape. You can get 100 sheets on Amazon for $30.
