"DARK DAYS" CHOICES ,,,

 

I know, I know ;))))

I can hear you saying--

she CUT them apart????

Whaaaa?

I could not seem to work with 

a long strip 

for a center..

so, I cut these

apart...

Yup...

👀😐😟👀 

(after a whole lot

of measuring to leave 1/2" 

on each side.)

That was hard work for me--

the math challenged gal.

They came out measuring

4 7/8ths unfinished.

Because there are five of them

{that ole Magic Number 5};

I decided on a 9-patch setting...

Above are the four choices

I have on hand for the other

four blocks...

I want to use four of one 

of these patterns,,

Here they are separately, so

you can tell me which one you like

(or none of the above?? hahaha)

This one  is my own coffee dyed fabric

representing "making do"

and gives a more Prim, homemade feel;

this one represents a 

"Rocky Road" ahead!!

Dark roses.....representing

"Climate Change"

[which is REAL!!]

And

Deep maroon...to pull in the center...

[this last one is the most "matchy"

and the darkest choice]

*************************************

I am following K3N on Youtube in making the 

Comfort quilt tutorial she is presenting as

a year long project...

This will be all done by hand--

and slowly....

As you can see, I have pressed all the

seams on the Pom blocks' 

and those seams are 

invisibly basted down....

I will do the same on the last

4 as soon as I make a decision on

which one to use...

After.....

The blocks will be whip stitched together

into the 9-patch

and then appliqued to a big 

20" backing cloth--

probably cream???-- I haven't

decided yet.  

Let me know what you think.

about the choices.

I really like them all--;)))

each one gives a different 

"Feel"...

And....

there will be other blocks, so these

fabrics will figure in those too,

but  

in different configurations...

and still using some version of the 

9-patch in each..
