orange than the red-orange pumpkins on the quilt I decided it would tie in beautifully with the rest of the fabrics in the quilt. I cut strips, sewed half square triangles, and had the top almost finished before I went to bed. All that was needed was to applique the five stars across the top, which I finished today.
And what do you suppose showed up in today's mail?
I should have been patient a little bit longer. Notice the original red plaid is very similar to what I used except for the color. The red piece will go on my plaid shelves to be used eventually in a different quilt. I'm certainly not going to change borders now, especially as the stars overlap the top border.
I will chance something though - something I didn't see until I looked at the picture after inserting it in this post. Two triangles on the bottom right are turned incorrectly! That I can't tolerate! So I guess the top isn't quite finished after all!
Do you ever deviate from a pattern?
ReplyDeleteI love the movement of the two 'wrong' blocks. So much more interesting that way. Your substitute fabric is awesome too!
ReplyDeleteI actually love the fabric you used! This is one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute block - love it!
