Squirrel's Batik Sibling #10 -

I think I told you guys that I chose the Star fabric first on these by finding the shortest Fat Quarter in the set of three - because the Star requires the least amount of fabric -

So the center square and the Star points were already determined in this set - as they are in all of the other ones - even though you can barely see them in this one -

It was a toss-up until the very end of the cutting as to which one of the other two was going to be the Color and which one was going to be the Background -

The background needs an additional 4 sets of mirror-image HST for the wings on the Flying Geese in the middle sections - so I generally cut them from the longest set of strips left -

When I got to the end - I had the same amount of both fabrics - so I flipped a mental coin - and decided to go with the Blue as the Color and the blendy one for the Background - not realizing just how blendy it would be next to the Star fabrics - but - oh, well -

Besides - the Background on the one before this one was Blue - so I thought it should appear in at least one block as the Color -

Like I told Julie in an email -

It's already interesting to me how different they all are - depending on the fabric and where it appears in the block. NEXT time I'm going to try to work with some that actually "go together" - ;))

Right now I have 8 of them on the left wall in the hallway - I have #9 on the wall in my "Studio" which will be moved to the wall on the right when I replace it with #10 in a little while. I still have 2 more to go - then I'll see if I can figure out which ones "go" with some of the others. Who knows - I might wind up with 12 orphans - LOL - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
