Dazzle pattern by ipatchandquilt |
About a week ago I came upon
ipatch blog through some linky party. And she (Esther), was looking for people to test out her new pattern
Dazzle. I've always been kind of jealous of pattern testers--they get to try out these new cool patterns before anyone else! So of course I volunteered right away. The deadline to get feedback in is next Thursday, but next week is kind of crazy, so I got started on it asap.

I finished all 12 wedges in a day, despite the normal chaos around here! And I only add to rip out three seams! |
 |
Color coding the wedges helped me stay on track when I got distracted. |
Sewing together the wedges went really well...up until I had to sew together the two halves and that center area is kinda of a [insert profanity here]. The first try it was okay, but I could tell where I'd messed up...so I ripped out the center 2-3 inches and tried again. This was, by the way, a BIG mistake, and the result was a much worse aligned and bumpy center.

ReplyDeleteThat star is awesome!!!
ReplyDeletepaper piecing can be tricky sometimes. I did a Lucky Stars BOM today and don't you know I did all the sections and thought, wow this one is pretty easy and then I went to put the whole thing together and it was a little rough. I got through it,but things sure do get "bumpy" in the center sometimes! I love,love your dazzle block!!!
