I've found a background fabric and I'm ready to get started. I want to try Liza's front basting method and I want to start with an easy block. I'm going to be doing Kim's Roseville Album; which block would be the best one? Mind you, I'm kinda chicken here. ;)
I started with a side panel thinking that once I got the most time consuming parts of the quilt top together it would seem like it was coming together fast with the smaller blocks. However, it's taking a long time to finish the panel and I am in need of a little instant gradification....... Maybe the fruit bowl would be a better one to start with.
ReplyDeleteTell us about the background fabric. Its fun to see the different choices being made
ReplyDeleteEileen,
ReplyDeleteI started with the center block. It had no stems Plus it would make a good wallhanging if I didn't do any more blocks...I'm have so much fun with them, I know I will finish some day.
What is your background?
Just enjoy the journey!

I would start with a corner block, any one of them, only because the center is the first place we look. So put that chicken in the oven get a block started while it bakes. You. Can. Do. It.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun quilt to do...I'd say the easiest block is the one with the fruit bowl in the center? We're cheering you on..and look forward to seeing your block. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to vote for the fruit bowl too. Not only is it easier, it's the center, so you can work out from there and not duplicate colors/fabrics, etc. The block to the left of it is pretty easy too... Whichever one you choose, it'll be fun!
ReplyDeleteTake the leap, Eileen!!! We're all here...helping, encouraging and holding your hand. It will not be as difficult as you believe. Trust me. Happy Holidays to you and yours. : )
