Now that I have my other quilting obligations done for April I can concentrate on the Supernova quilt-along a little better. I put together two of the groups today. This is the one that I thought I would like... (and I like it).
Remember, these are the four points of the block and not the center. The other instructions will come on Thursday of this week.
I'm not sure of how I like the yellow on yellow as my second color on this next one.
I'm going to let it ride for now. I have 10 more sets to make (12 blocks vs. the 9 in the pattern). I am learning new skills and techniques with this quilt-along. It is time consuming to draw the line from corner to corner, but well worth it. It is also something that I can't have "help" from my four-year-old, because I have to pay attention to what is going in which direction. I'll have to do this one when he's sleeping. I also can't bear to throw away the little half triangles that I cut from each of the eight rectangles... so I end up sewing them together for future scrap projects.
No more quilting for today. An exciting evening is planned. Yes, I used to go to a lot of hair band concerts in the 80's. The best seats I ever had were four row tickets to see Twisted Sister. Tonight I have tickets to see Elmo. Boy, times have changed.
