I'm playing Hostess with the Mostess today! So welcome! I have a bright and sparkly reveal that has been months in the making.....
You see, back in February, I found a block I loved and wanted to use for my month as Queen in my quilting bee. I had to be resourceful and literally go straight to the source.....
And then re-write the tutorial to suit my block with a twist....
I like to call it the "Radiating Sparkler"! I actually received 14 of these gorgeous blocks and made two myself. So what happened to the four blocks not used in this quilt top? Well, they have been joined together and will be made in to a big and bright cushion. A very big THANK YOU to my lovely QCA Bee #5 friends!
I ummed and ahhed whether to put sashing in between the blocks, but reallllly liked the point on point vision! To make it up to lap size, I added some borders and little mini sparklers as corner stones. I absolutely ADORE how it's turned out and can't wait (well, I will wait) to get it backed, basted and quilted!
And tomorrow? Well, tomorrow I will pop the tutorial up here on the blog for all of you! So you can go forth and make your own Radiating Sparklers! Remember to pop back in and check it out.
Now it's your turn to show your finish or finishes for the week. Be sure to include a TGIFF button or link back to the party so everyone else can find it too! And of course - pop in to some of the other party animals and share the comment love!
So beautiful and bright. Well done.
