After two weeks of use, I think I've come to terms with it, and I mean this in the most positive way.
I changed the glue (no elmers school glue around here available, but I use a brand of a local discounter) and paper (much smoother surface now) I use, and it makes all the differnce.
This change of products was simple coincidence, just run out of the old stuff and this was all I could get, but man, I love it.
Now I am addicted to glue basting, it goes oh so quick and easy, basted 42 rectangles and six hexies in under a hour!
And this is my progress so far...
The big piece looks like this:
Six stars have been sewn together (3 already connected to the big piece):
42 star pieces are waiting for me:
Best news, now I know what this quilt will be. I wasn't sure a long time, so I was uncertain about the colours I'm using.
This will be another one for my sweet little A (see her first one here). It will be smaller, so it covers her while taking naps during the day in her bed. I seek for a size about 150x135cm (about 60x53 inch).
And since I knew this, I decided to go for some more girlier fabriques too.
I'm using the salmony fabrique again, which is really special for me because it was part of As bassinet and also her first blanket.
So now the colour scheme is really bright and colourful, and it think I have enough stars and colours to finish, we will see how this goes, maybe I should lay everything out to get a better image of the size...
Hope you like what you see!
