This will put my total at 7. I actually made 8, but trimmed one too small. The lights look white, but they really do have color. While sewing these up, I had an idea. What if I take the scraps and use them?? This is what I came up with. I was going to have a circle in the middle and at the last minute changed it so they were all half circles. It is raw edge applique and I really should have spent more time sewing the arcs down. They are a...

I played with this month’s block and pieced the arc.   I made a doll blanket for my niece.   You can read more at my blog – here.  –...

I tried again, starting with a larger square and trimming the outer edge square  These turned out nicely and it’s getting easier to stitch that curve with practice.  Awaiting judgement on the fabric of one of these…not sure if those leaves read one color well enough.  The red paisley is the fabric I used to sash one of my Scrappy Trips...

  Yesterday I finally made my templates (Thanks Sophie!).  Today I started looking for fabrics and I have cut and sewn my first Eclipse block…maybe.  It came out a bit skewed as you can see in the picture with the ruler on top of the block.  I’m open for input into as  to what may have caused this and how to get better results.  Would it work to start with a 10″ square of bright fabric and trim...
