2nd day of Happiness

Well this morning i look through my small pile of fabric and choose a dark purple spot and the 4 plain purple and white with green rings for the background to make the centre star for this quilt.  I  watched the start of the video and cut my fabrics as per instruction and then went on to start the paper pieceing. I don't do much of that so i thought it would be fun. Looking at the DVD Jacqueline showed you step by step what could be simpler, but mine did not lay on the same way as hers. Have no idea why will have to investigate if it was the way that i traced or what but  i did win through and was able to paper piece the small bits. Jacqueline  constantly reminds us to press the seams with our finger and that was very helpful and i have to unplug lots of other stuff to plug in the iron or it blows the electric. Cutting the wedges was hard on my knew as the the wood floor was the only place i could do my cutting. Jacqueline gives a tip of a basting the tips of the quarters to make sure they line up OK, this was good but don't do it to close to the tip not enough room for too many stitches and as soon as i pulled it out of the machine out come the stitches. Overall the results were good and will show some photos tomorrow when i can get the camera to download to the computer.To look at the pattern look here
