| Celtic Solstice 1-3-14 |
It's Monday and the final Celtic Solstice link up until February. Unlike some who have actually finished their tops, I am working my way slowly to the finish. My block construction began soon after the big reveal on New Year's Day, even though I am lacking a few pieces and parts. All-in-all, I'm liking the result. DH wanted to know how I got the circles!
The one area that concerns me is my angles don't match up between the chevrons and the little HSTs in the Birthday Girl blocks. Some are spot on, and some are waaay off. I've analyzed my sewing and trimming (actually shaving) and can't see where I could have done anything differently, so maybe that's the way they're supposed to be.

Hoping to assemble a few blocks every day this week, but since my sewing room is in the basement where there is minimal heat, I'm not sure how much I can accomplish. Plus I have a number of projects on the computer with a deadline that will keep me away from the sewing machine this week.
You can see what others have accomplished on Bonnie Hunter's blog at Quiltville.
Look forward to seeing progress in February. It is looking lovely - such clear defined colours, and yes, the circles are fun.
ReplyDeleteUsing clear colors is something I'm just learning -- after 13 years of quilting. Just like my hair, I need to get the gray out .
DeleteIt looks beautiful--your colors really make the design POP!
ReplyDeleteThat red - such a wonderful choice! Kudos on your progress, and I look forward to seeing your reveal in February.
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast in your colors. Striking!
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of thunder snow until my daughter, who lives in a very large state in the south, told me about it. Your C.S. is looking beautiful. I had the hardest time with seam alignments on the B.G. block too. I think it's just that there were so many angles that even being off just a fraction on any one would throw off alignment - it created a fair amount of unstitching and resewing on some, others I just left 'as is'.
ReplyDeleteI commented to DH that we'd probably get thunder snow, considering the temp discrepancy behind the front. One flash of lighting, a boom, then snow. Must be a southern thing. I finally left my BG blocks "as is," too.
