make the blocks smaller!
I liked my big Mariner's Compass block so much I made these. The large one is 12 inches. This little one would finish into a 5" circle, but I think I am going to use them in the corners to frame the larger one. Something like this.
(Sorry...not great pictures, but the lighting isn't so good tonight and I'm having trouble getting them to stay on my make-shift design wall.)
Now I just have to figure out what background I want to put it on. I'm going to need to buy fabric for that one, so it'll be a few days. My LQS closed down until October (it is changing ownership), so I have a 25 minute drive to get to the next closest store, which probably won't happen until next week.
Quarter compasses in the corners - who would have thought? Oh wait...you did! I think it's a great idea (never mind that it helps use up scraps). I can't wait to see how it all comes together.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea, I really like it!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful piece. Did you paper piece?
ReplyDeleteLove your colors and the quarter compass for the corners is terrific! Don't you just love batiks? Can't wait to see what you pick for the background! Can you really wait for October? Mary
