Thanks Nancy. I think you are talking about the blocks with the gold-leaf looking background, but since things probably look different on our screens could you point out one of them as, for example, Column 3 (from the left), Row 2, so that I know exactly which block you had in mind? I think I know but I want to make sure. There are eight of those blocks, but you saw five (if we're talking about the same one) so the flash may be playing on them but I definitely check for clustering if you can confirm the one you're referring to. Really appreciate your keen eye! Yes Renata, I will use graph paper, in a long strip. That way, that long narrow border has better chance of ending up straight! Andrée, so glad you are playing too. When you paper-piece the border, do you simply create a paper for a long set of half-square triangles? Never done it so I'm curious if that's an alternative I should be exploring because the perfect 1/4" is a challenge for anyone.  I'll post a picture tonight of my plan. I will do the same for that log border, just as I did on the BOM (the sashing). Just to make sure all logs match perfectly to a HST. Andrée |

Took care of the 4th row, 4th down but had to do something else with third row because I had already made some changes since I posted to photo and moving 4 to 3 did not work with what I had already changed. It is like chess! Thanks, Rita!

Renata it looks wonderful! Only one change for me: 4th row from right and 4th down, move to 3rd from left 3rd up from bottom. Nothing else is bothering me. It's like playing chess!
Oh, and thanks for the temptation, you make me want to play, sigh. Guess it will have to wait for a bit. |

Nope, we're talking about the same ones, Nancy--definitely will go back and play with those a bit. Just wanted to make sure we were talking about the same block. Those are made with Hoffman's Sayomi collection and it is a very strong gold leaf over a cream background. Definitely a cluster issue that I will address. Having a second set of eyes is really important because often you look at these fabrics enough and they start growing on you and your brain can no longer tell when something stands out like a sore thumb! Appreciate the second set of eyes!

Lois, it was so easy to cut and put together--I chain-pieced the blocks and that made it go faster. I just found my green and red fabric that will become the half-square triangle border and I've got Brenda Henning's Triangulation software to download the papers and make forty HSTs per page. Of course, you can do it with Edyta Sitar's papers, Thangles or either of the two methods Alex offered in her video. Lots of choices here... and it really is fun!
Thanks, Sue. I'm really tempted, Lorchen... |
