This project is still on my design wall but lots of progress has been made. I followed the advice that Krista gave on last week's design wall Monday comments, and moved the purple asterisk in the 3rd row to the left of the letter 'P' and I like that better.The letters are now sewn together into rows (which took way longer than I thought it would!) and I just need to make all the rows the same size by adding pieces to the sides of some of the shorter rows.
Then I made 12 more asterisk blocks to make into a border. I love how those blocks are all different sizes depending on the width of the strip of fabric I used. I plan to keep making asterisks until all the strips are gone and might end up putting some on the back of the quilt.

ReplyDeleteYou're making great Progress on your Words Quilt. The asterisks add a bit more zing to it all!
ReplyDeleteSo fun. I think the asterisks by the P is a great touch.
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for numbers and letters so I just LOVE this quilt! Is there a pattern name?
ReplyDeleteOh, I didn't read thoroughly enough. Found the website for the alphabet blocks. THANKS!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt this is going to be. I love the addition of the asterisks. Handy for spacing, but also just darned cute.
ReplyDeleteA great alphabet sampler! Making the letters is lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteLove it, Kathy. You really struck gold with the asterisk. I think it makes all the difference!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great sampler.....very, very cute!
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome! I love the rows of asterisks. I fell in love with them too! I'm with you on the sewing together part...it definitely took longer than I thought too. I finished my top last night after agonizing about the last row for a week! one more asterisk was all it took! :) It will be on my blog tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThis is just a fabulous quilt. Great job!! I like the added asterisk border. I've noticed that you are really working your way through you UFO list. AWESOME!!! Keep up the good work. I'm having my first give away, come take a look. :o) Sandie
ReplyDeleteLove it! The purple asterisk looks great where it is now. Good advice you took there :) Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and the asterisk blocks - they look great together!
ReplyDeleteEye exam chart? This is really cute. If you are close to your optomitrist what a wonderful gift! Of course a young child or teacher wouldn't be unhappy with it...for that matter I'd like it too. Heck, you should keep it! Sandi
