More parts, center changed...........

Rosemary and I basted her quilt in a very short time.  We even had time to go out to lunch afterwards. It is so nice to have the 2 large tables clean and ready for a basting job.  I'll do one of my own in a few days too. Last night I sewed 7 more groups of pieces for blocks.

I took out both the red print square and the light square and added 2 more pieces like the rest.  In the book the center starts spiraling in a square pattern and I have mine set up as a rectangle shape.  I'll try it the other way when I get more pieces made and can do the real layout.

    I would love to have room for tables put together to baste on - no basement here though and not enough room

    Envious of your tables. I love the rectangle spiral. I ordered the Karen Stone book, although New York Beauty is not in it. Darn that EQ.

    I like the light center! It seems to draw you into the pattern spiraling around...nice lights. Hugs, Julierose

    I like this layout better. The center block goes much better in this.

    This is going to be stunning. I just repurposed a UFO that was originally a stack and whack to Red Center so i can work on it before i move. It will be moss greens and purples. Contrast in color more than values.

    Fun prints combined with your "exuberant" fabrics on the blocks you stitched last night.

    I really like the rectangle center vs. the square thus far. But I know you will come up with another center before this is all over. (*._,*)

    What size are the blocks? So pretty. Is it easier to baste on tabletops or to put on your longarm and baste that way? Just curious.

    I have two tables I sit up on the driveway to baste on. It is OK except in the heat of the summer.
