How to make the Northern Lights quilt
#51
Did the pattern call for a sashing and corner block/stone?
I am not sure how you would ever be able to avoid that four patch meeting in the corners apart from that, and I am not sure that you could put a sashing in between the blocks and rows and keep that pattern you have going in the alternate blocks.

Hi everybody! I got star block #7 finished and it's picture posted. Here's the link:

This block will work out a lot better for the setting block, in my opinion. Now, I will make the setting block and take some pictures to show you. Talk to you later.

still looking ... maybe it is on the other thread, but are you having to lay out each setting block (alternating block) before stitching together, or is there a speed cutting technique you are using? Lots of work - - now, you don't have to answer, cuz I am toddling over the other thread to read what all you have been up to! <wave>

Star Blocks #5 and #6 See how the 2 blues are right there together. I want 4 different colors in the setting blocks instead of some color twice.

Now I have changed the blocks and I think it looks a whole lot better. I have pink, purple, green and blues in the setting block. 4 different colors.

I think that with the new pictures, explaining and showing what I'm talking about, it should be easier to understand.
Is this all about as clear as mud??? Ignore me and just look at the pictures. LOL That might help! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thank you. I should of posted pictures right away while I was explaining. That would of made it easier to understand for people to begin with. I'm sorry everybody!
I would love to have a design wall. It would come in so handy for me. I am constantly on my kitchen floor. I probably have the cleanest kitchen floor in the county though! :lol: My husband teases me about it, because I sweep the kitchen floor everytime I want to lay stuff out. (Our cats shed, there's always more dirt, etc.) Anyways, He tells people and teases me about "My methodical sweeping of the floor". It would be awesome to have a design wall.
