kookaloo_starr Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I did actually consider that one first but then I don't often make the same pattern twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuttlebuggy Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Tam - I love the orange and like the stiped one too! I think you will enjoy this star one tho' when it turns into 10 point - it sorta takes on an Amish quilt-like motif to it - very fun. I am like Crissie right now and attempting to whip out WIPS :lol:lol I got 5 more strips done on the MAM that has been a "go to" project for the last 2 yrs!!!! Something with a deadline or more pressing comes along and it goes to the back burner again... But now with all the strips done up to the final round - it is a JAYG on the last round so that's what I am doing now - last round (has 2 parts - sc & chains- then second time around in same color is the JAYG part). Thinking of giving it to my nephew who is a scout - he loves orange and red - and it reminds me of the colors of a campfire - red, orange, rust and a little tan.

Have fun and let us know the colorways you pick out - that's such a fun part of it - plotting and planning our colors!!!!

RoseRed Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Huge Congrats! kook - I just realized that you did the points in the solid color - duh! I still haven't worked on the spidey ghan one. Still sitting in the bag about 3 feet across. Bending is beyond me right now so I'll have to wait for help to lay it out and get pics.

ala139 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Ok, so I've been gone, for oh, like EVER. But here's what's going on. The SBRR that I started working on was turning into absolute rubbish, SO given that I was running out of time, (the benefit is this Sunday) I decided to pick the original one back up and use that for the auction. I have until October to make something for my friend after all.... So I have another couple rounds to go and then do the edging and it'll be done and ready to give to the benefit organizer on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ala139 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Thanks. If I had it to do over, the 2nd set of points would be outlined by the darker blue as well, but it still seems to be turning out alright. I still can't get over how my moss green is light blue when put with the darker blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
