Making the rosettes

I started with the most difficult one: a rosette, where 10 super narrow points have to meet in the middle.

choosing the fabrics
drawing the shape
cutting
the first of 2.931 pieces
the glue-pen
drawing the next shape
it should look like this
it looked like that


Unfortunately, it wasn't a beautiful rosette. I hadn't glued and folded the tip meticulous enough, I never knew exactly where to stop sewing. The result is not a nice flat rosette, but looks more like a volcano crater (from the front) or a cauliflower (from the back).

 

I stayed in touch with Diane Kirkhart and she gave me lots of tips on how to sew the rosettes technically better - that was really helpful!
I wish I could book a class with her. But Virginia is not around the corner of Frankfurt/Main...

 

Next try: the easy rosette with the pentagons in the middle. The famous Passacaglia consists only of this rosette. Too late I realised that I had chosen the more difficult Millefiori quilt with La Tarantella. Oh well...

Fuzzy Cutting, for the first time!
this way?
or that way?
this way!
done
and flat!!

 

 

Wow, this is fun!
