isn't that wierd? when i resized the image so it wouldn't take a year to download on dial up, it suddenly didn't look real anymore. but i promise, it is. i topstitched around the yellow using regular dark purple thread. before it did that, the yellow just kinda sat there all blah and wishy washy.

trust me. i made it before i posted it the first time. didn't want to accidentally mislead anybody about whether or not it was a good block for any level of experience.

Tim secretly tested the Arrowheads for me ahead of time. i haven't gotten to that one yet.

and as long as i'm admitting to things here, i'm going to wonder out loud if we're loading the "pictures" thread with posts that should be over in the "discussion" thread under Main.
Not joining the quilt police. Promise!!! Just trying to make sure we take full advantage of the new system. and that we use both threads to encourage people who may not yet have made up their minds about jumping into the fun.
:oops:

That's a good trick to remember--putting a bit of the complementary color next to a color that needs a lift. Cool!

We've got all month (and to infinity and beyond) to complete blocks, right? Of course right!

Y'know the same thought crossed my mind... too many words between pictures? (Sashing between the blocks?)

Patrice, I really did not understand the pattern of this block until I saw yours. I am starting over. Overs are fair!! :twisted:

patricej

argue with me about that on the other thread. 'cause you knooooooooow i have a word or two about finish first AND do-over it it'll make you happy.

AND i hope you started at the top because mine was not the first frolic posted, and most definitely not the best. they had to drag mine out of the scanner kicking and screaming.

AND this is not a competition. that would take all the fun out of it.

OK, I know it's possible to get this block smaller, but 5" is my limit!!! And I even like my first attempt ( the bigger block) better.

Ooohhhh Leslee!! Great blocks! I like them both, but the smaller one with the black is calling me.... :wink:

I'm still trying to get off my patuti (It's not a word that I know of, You're supposed to use your imagination!) and get my machine out of the closet! I'm still trying to find the Blazing Arrow finished block photos. I found them once then Poof they seemed to disapear. I didn't want to ask first thing until I had looked a little more.

for the edification of all here present and wondering, Patuti is a real word. at least where i come from.
there are conflicting schools of thought on spelling, but not on it's intrinsic value.
we consider it a useful, highly valued and essential addition to the language and our culture.
