This is my Dazzling Debbies - taken from Dec/Jan 2012 issue of Quilt magazine. I'm enjoying using lots and lots of different fabrics from my Debbie Mumm stash.
Along with the tone on tone fabrics there are lots of novelties which I find impossible to resist.
So I thought that I had my math issues under control but yesterday I realized -again - the error of my ways! I still can't keep track of how many squares I need. I'm making the large half square triangle blocks that comprise the border and I am still 40 triangles short -- (insert banging head on design wall). I really should have paid closer attention in kindergarten.
Now I'm off to participate in the Monday driving rodeo - today I have a quilt guild meeting to throw into the event so it is going to be a busy busy day!
Happy stitching-
carol fun
Wow -- that turned out great. Or it will be :-D It's so worth the frustration.
ReplyDelete"Banging head on design wall" Did you make the colors bleed?
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. I too have that problem, Maths was not my greatest subject.:)
ReplyDeleteYour quilt pieces are looking good! Because of you I bought that magazine today. I see one of these in my future too! :0)
ReplyDeleteGreat star pattern, love the colors you chose. I guess if counting is a problem you could just keep making blocks until you run out of fabric. What's the worst that could happen?
ReplyDeleteSounds like you need more chocolate - and quick!
ReplyDeleteI love this scrappy quilt. I may have to make myself (or someone else) one. It combines three things I love: scraps, triangles and stars.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be such a great looking quilt. Love it!!
ReplyDeleteLove all the scrappy goodness and don't see any forehead imprint from banging your head :) Enjoy the rodeo! I almost never buy novelties but sometimes they do call pretty loudly (they are kinda bossy, don't you think?)
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteI think that's just God's way of saying that you should stop for more chocolate!That's my kind of quilt! Warm and scrappy and it will be worth all the head banging.
ReplyDeleteIt was great to see your Halloween quilt on Monday night at guild. It is fabulous! Did you stay and buy anything?
ReplyDeleteWarm and scrappy. I love the name.
