So I finished up the last corner:
And I think I like this arrangement the best:
Next is sewing it all together and figuring out a border to add as it’s going to end up measuring @ 11″, an inch and a half shy. Hrm…
I’m also preparing my paper piecing tutorials for posting shortly. I’ve got 4 all together. All loaded with nice big photos to help you through. There will be one beginners pattern, two multi-pieced patterns, how to line up your wonky triangle seams, and finally sewing multiple inset curves like the ones I just finished in the New york beauty blocks.
I love how this one is turning out. My favorite part is the juxtaposition of the fun bright prints contained within such an art-deco inspired structure. It creates such a neat balance which I’m always striving for in my crafting.
