Or because I can't leave well enough alone. Or something like that.
I'm working on some applique blocks. My original plan was to use the same setting as I'd used for Pumpkin Carving. But I've made that quilt. And then I made it again a few more times, because Marilyn uses the same pieces in different colors and Full Blown Quilt Lust uses littler pieces.
While I didn't have time to make the applique blocks, I plotted the setting, and tweaked and tinkered with my ideas and came up with something I loved but didn't have the right fabric for and went shopping a couple of times before finding the right fabric.... Now I suppose it's time to finally cut those applique blocks, huh?
I'm linking up to Patchwork Times.
I love those 9 patches as setting blocks. I hope you have fun with the applique - I love to do hand applique!
ReplyDeleteI have noted quilts that use nine-in-nine patch setting blocks. The design is very effective, especially on-point.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you going to applique on the blocks? I like the setting on point too!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just have to let it gel a bit.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you've overthought it! Great setting :)
