Sneak Peek ~ New Project! from Life in the Scrapatch

I love my Bella Solids Color Chart.

When I needed to decide on a solid to coordinate with

my Fragile by Zen Chic Mini Charm Project,

started here,

I reached for my color chart.

I find this an essential tool when designing and deciding

on colors and fabrics.

There are touches of a lovely blue turquoise in the

Fragile by Zen Chic for Moda Fabrics

Block 8

Starburst

This block will require a specialty ruler or you will have to create a template for yourself. Either will work just fine!

Creative Grids Starburst 30 Degree Triangle Ruler

I chose to make a template. The pattern comes with one for you to trace… grab some thin template plastic and trace/cut it out. Ignore the lines I drew on mine… I was just using them as a guide.

I stacked up my fabric and then drew ...

Block 3

I’m not gonna lie…this was a tricky block!

You will use a specialty ruler for this one….

Tips…

The key is to make sure you read the instructions thoroughly and use the ruler properly!

I got a little ahead of myself and just kept cutting which = lots of seam ripping. Go step by step and you should do just fine.

To-Do Tuesday | 11.15.16 from Georgia Girl Quilts

So, yeah. I got a whole lot of nothin' done in Atlanta. I think I managed to bind about 5 inches of the nautical quilt. I'm sooooo behind schedule again. So. Here's my list for this week:

- Finish the nautical quilt

- Finish the Christmas gift quilt

- Finish swaddlers

- Order fabric needed for new commission

Since I didn't get anything done, I thought I'd share a shot of the back of the
nautical quilt. Don't you just love those sailboats?!

So, I guess I'd better get to work! Have a great week, y'all!
