The First Cut

I have started Asteria.  I laid out my fabrics, and admired them for awhile.


It's always hard for me to make the first cut into beautiful fabrics.  I have calculated the yardage and did the math, and there was PLENTY of math because the pattern is for 12" squares.  The finished quilt would be so HUGE, 106" x 106".  Gahhhhh!  I redesigned the blocks at 75%, so I will be doing a 9" block instead.  My quilt will be 72"-75", depending on how wide I make the final border.  So, time to get started... where's my rotary cutter!?

There are 8 different blocks, some 9" x 9", some 6" x 9", and one is 6" x 6".  I have finished all of the #1 blocks, and all of the #8 blocks.  Here is my progress so far.

  

Looking Good!
