DOUBLE THE FUN from Block Winter Vol 4 Issue 1. When i was doing my research and sifting through my Block magazines I remember always wanting to make this magic block. I was planning on only making 2 table toppers with this pattern. Double the Fun was no exaggeration because I ended up with 36 blocks. (( I am still working on my quilting math. )) What did i learn? When working with colors or mixing patterns, you should do a graph of your color ideas because then you will know exactly the outcome before trying to make a pattern with what you actually made. I still like the results but the squares would of matched better if I planned it ahead of time. Scrappy is good, though. GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILIES.

The COMPASS STAR! by Wendy Engel was another example of a great start because the center fabric became the actual Star of this project. What I mean is when you cut up words sometimes the meaning gets lost when you sew the pieces back together. The only disadvantage of using such a big piece, I didn't have a lot in my stash to use on the other quilt projects. What did I learn? - W♥W! It is crazy how one block can make so many different outcomes. I am sure there will be more to come. GOD BLESS YOU!

i wanted to make a donation in support of America, before I knew it, I was all involved into buying fabric, researching patterns, sewing, sewing, and more sewing. I started out simple. THE COMPASS STAR! one sheet pattern by Wendy Engel. I had a fear of Half Square Triangles, therefore, I avoided project that had them. This time I overcame my fear and just tried. I definitely need more practice but the fear is gone. What did I learn? It is very important to be aware of points. A lot of my points didn't make this project. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
