I'll keep looking for a pattern that can be modified if necessary.
In the end I switched to a zig zag to make the dart point. Is your silver fabric in a V idea to replace the entire dart point or just the place where the point goes in? How would I attach this V? A very tiny HST?? The blue "barrel" of the dart is only 1" finished. I know what you mean about not having the front of the "barrel" flat, but I can't figure out how to make a pointed barrel with such a small barrel. |

KenmoreGal2: Personally, I would try to narrow down the end of the dart body by the point. I can see what I mean, but can't draw it out for you (I don't know how on the computer). Basically, you would need HST of the background color and the dart body. You want the body to be smaller at the place where the point is attached to the shaft. Hope this is clear????
Can someone help draft my idea, please, so Kenmore can see it? Thanks! I know what you mean but I'm not sure how to accomplish it. The dart body is only 1" finished. I don't think I can make a HST that small. Is it terrible the way it is?? |
I would definitely do pp'ing vs applique but that's because I'm terrible at machine applique and my hand applique skills are extremely rusty, lol.

NJQuilter helped me to make a pattern to pp the point. I think this will work out! I'll post pictures later.
Thank you to all you contributed. |

Looking forward to seeing the new version, I thought your first prototype was great already.

Here it is! I'm pleased. I made 3, this is the most perfect.
In my stash I found white fabric with silver glitter embedded in it. That's what I used for the body of the dart. Now I'll build the quilt around a strip of these 3 darts. I'll post another picture when it's all done. [ATTACH=CONFIG]591291[/ATTACH] |
