Jazz Hands

Thank you all for your kind comments about my 


Jazz Hands EPP blocks!

I am slowly working on these...


Five down, seven to go!

Each block has 72 kite pieces in each 12" (point-to-

point) block, so it is quite slow going!


I have been toying with some ideas about how I 

might join the blocks?

The MO2 book, which I am basing my quilt on, has 
two options.....


a long strip....

or a diamond?


And I have also 'pinned' a triangular version...


I purchased a piece of Kaffe as a possible fabric 

choice?


I'd love to hear your thoughts on fabric and setting....

In the meantime, I have another set cut out ready to 


go!




Now I just need some more papers!

Happy Sewing!

Suz

Absolutely stunning!

kelly said...

i vote for triangles too!

Carla said...

I"m loving these! Your fabrics are so nice and cheerful. From just what I see here, it looks like the triangles would nicely repeat the shape.

I agree with Susan...they look fantastic and I vote triangles!

Melody said...

These are spectacular, my favourite layout is with the diamonds.

Kristy QP said...

These are looking so great! I vote for the triangle layout! ;)

Kirsty @ Bonjour Quilts said...

Always the contrarian, I'm voting for the strips. But honestly, anything will look great with blocks that awesome. They are so happy and just POP!

Clara {Clover and Violet} said...

That's a tough decision, I like them both! Your quilt will look wonderful either way you choose! Can't wait to see it finished!

Lydia said...

Looks great!!! I think triangles. Less background fabric in one shot, keeps the focus on the Jazz hands.

Rachaeldaisy said...

I like the triangle because they also look like star points though any layout you choose will work because those blocks are stunning!! Gorgeous fabric choices, the yellow used in different parts really pops!

Fiona @ Poppy Makes said...

Your blocks are looking gorgeous! I've always loved the quilts in the Material Obsession book but I think the triangles version will be amazing! The triangles will end up making big star points won't they? But whatever you choose it will be fantastic!

The triangles jump out at me! I like the triangles. My second choice would be the strips. They look wonderful :)

I quite like the long strip! It's great to see you're making so much progress. A pain to have to wait for more papers =D

Debbie said...

both are great but I kind of like the diamonds....awesome you for tackling these blocks - yikes!

Leanne said...

This is going to be wonderful. I like the strips or the triangles, but all of the choices are lovely.

For me the diamonds are very striking! Looks great nearly there eh!

Cille said...

Hmmmm... Tough choice and if this was a vote i would loose but I like the strips best. The Kaffe Fasset is perfect. Love it :)

Cindy said...

I love the way your "Almost a Rainbow" turned out! Would you tell me what the complete title of the book MO2 is, please. I have become a "hexie junkie" and would love to try this pattern, too. Thank you.
