Hello dear friends...I've just learned some exciting news to share with you all....there will be a BlockHeads 2! I have NO details at all. Please stay tuned for updates as they become available. Wow! Are you ready for a new adventure???
Meanwhile....
I'm still trying to find the right sashing for BlockHeads 1 !!!. Pretty sure about the colors for the cornerstone stars. well, you know me, I do change my mind.
Sometimes we just have to cut up a few strips and play. Sit back, and look. Walk away, and then return with a fresh eye.
And then, still be undecided!
What do you think?
I love indigo, but I'm really liking the red. Which red print? The stripe is from Lizzie's Legacy. I'm surprised I have enough! And the red, with the little dashes and buds, is from Grace's Garden.
The indigo print is from the upcoming Evelyn's Homestead.
No matter which I select, it will at some point go next to blocks with that color on the outside edge.
I think I'm set on cornerstones, though I might mix up the reds and the golds from my different lines. But if I choose use red sashing, maybe I need indigo stars. Hmmm
If you missed the posting (week 33, October 18) for the 3" Sawtooth Star I've chosen for cornerstones, here are the measurements to cut:
center square 2"
4 corner squares 1 1/4"
starpoint background (sky for geese) 1 square 2 7/8"
4 squares for starpoints 1 3/4"
Please refer to my week 32 post if you need a refresher on no-waste flying geese.
Trim starpoint units to 1 1/4" x 2"
Geese are 3/4" x 1 1/2" finished.
Assemble in rows.
Watch for updates on BlockHeads 2.
Happy Sewing!
Until next time
