What comes first- the pattern or the fabric?
As I tend to accumulate fabric at a greater rate than I can sew it,
it's usually fabric.
I bought the Magneta Star pattern, by Carol at Freeboard Quilting Designs,
with the intentions of using my stash.
But as is often the way, I could not make it work.
So when I recently attended the Sew-In day with Racheldaisy as guest speaker,
I couldn't resist a little fabric purchase, with the express intention to use it for this pattern!
As I played around with possible combinations, I found I need to supplement it with some of my own fabric.
But luckily I have plenty of Aurifil threads to co-ordinate!
I had already purchased three metres of solid on sale from Darn Cheap so that is what I based my purchase on!
Here are some progress shots....
lots of half square triangles.
And fabric that reads as a solid!
the pressing instructions are fabulous with all seams nesting beautifully!
I've been playing around with the sashing too!
I hope to have this together very soon.
Happy sewing!
