Once I had the X and O Star block done for the Snowflake Sampler, I immediately started in on the second block! I was excited to try my hand at the Basic Star Stitch sure, but I was even more anxious to do the subsequent weaving. So far, on both blocks, that has been the most fun for me, I'm sure because it feels new and definitely is a way of stitching I haven't tried before. And obviously it adds so much to the white 'base' stitching.
This block is also 11" square, though it'll get trimmed up before final quilt assembly. The spool of Aurifloss I used for this block was variegated blue, with a good bit of white in it, so some of the snowflakes look 'frostier' than others. But all's good, and I look forward to the next block being released in a few weeks.
The weaving is definitely what pulls me into this as well.
ReplyDeleteWow! This looks so lovely Deb! I can see the subtle variations in each snowflake would be enthusing you to do even more! It is going to be an awesome project.
