Color Blast -

 

 

I played with the two middle panels - 

 

For my Color Blast - 

Free pattern from Benartex - HERE -  

 

And decided to reverse the order - 

So that the Horizontal stripes in the first panel  - 

 

Wouldn't be next to the Vertical stripes in the second panel - 

So - 

Now it's a top - 

Ta - Dah!! - ;))

And upside-down -

I like the pattern - A LOT - 

And especially like how the various fabrics play well together - 

Even though they didn't really look like they would - LOL -

 

A couple of notes - 

For next time - 

 

1 - To use the full width of the quarter-yard cut - 

Either cut the sections at 6" and 3" - 

Or cut them at 5-1/2" and 3-1/2" -

Cutting one at 5-1/4" and one at 3" - leaves a (silly to me) 3/4" strip scrap - 

 

2 - Add borders to the sides to adjust the proportions -

Due to the change in the size of the pieces - 

3 - One-way prints or stripes will be "straight up" in the larger sections - 

And will be "side-ways" in the narrower strips - or vice versa -

 

4 - When you plan the placement of your fabrics - 

Use some scraps to make a "cheat sheet" -  to "map it out" - 

Because it is REALLY easy to mix them up - 

Ask me how I know - LOL -

 

After I added all of the photos to this post - 

I realized that they were ALL upside down - 

And the last one - the one I had labeled - upside-down -

Was actually right-side up -

So I had to re-do the order - 

Because I'm not re-doing the photos - LOL -  ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
