When arranging blocks for a quilt it is possible to go on rearranging the blocks till you have many different arrangements but none neccisarily better than another…I felt that with the difficult and distingtive blocks positioned the others blended nicely around them and I resisted doing anymore rearranging, I did visit Sharon so that she could cast an eye over them to see if anything looked out of place to her, Jerry was there and he thought that the yellows in the top right corner didn’t look balanced being up there on there own, so I looked at the blocks that could be moved and we tried Valeri’s block 2nd row down on the left, not good because it put to much pink in the 2nd row, but swapping with the block below did work and that was the last change made…
Home again I took everything off my pin board and pinned the blocks to it…I stood back to look at them and all that I could think was WOW…
I have half the blocks trimmed to size and stitched into pairs and 123 photos to sort through and resize so that I can to show you step by step how to stitch blocks into a quilt…
Note to makers of the competitors blocks, who may be wondering where there blocks are…they are in the white bag with the red apple that is pinned to the bottom of my pin board.
