Orange blocks cut out and one sewn for the LeMoyne Star quilt. There are nine block of orange so one down!
I moved the rows over like this so I could use more room on the design wall. I only need some grey blocks when I finish the orange and then I can begin to think about organizing their layout!
I needed room so I could lay the log cabin triangles out to get a feel for how the colors would play to give me a pleasing pinwheel secondary pattern. This is only a test so I can figure out the size and rows, etc; I think I need 10 more blocks at least and I think I will make it with the reds being in shortest supply! I have a back up plan , though! lol
Here's a cute project I came across from Emblibrary.com if you have a machine that embroiders, too.
These are made of felt-I will make a bunch for the grands....
The embroidered pencil puppets/props are clever and cute. The moustache would be a lot of fun.
