Magazine appearance and Miniature Sudoku


First things first. For the Aussie girls if you see this current magazine, check page 11 and you will see Annie and I in the class that we attended at Somerset Patchwork earlier this year.

Our teacher Karen is featured in the magazine with one of her projects, so the photographers dropped in for some "action" shots. Pretty wild eh?


Now, back to today, our fellow Blue Gummer Rose organised a Sudoku Quilt workshop. Armed with nine fabrics and sewing machine we gathered to nut this one out.
Thankfully the puzzle had been worked out so we just had to follow the numbers.

There were florals with neutrals,

black and whites,

happy spots,

brights,

and my 1 1/2 " squares.

These were my finished blocks in the Sudoku formation.

I don't mind this layout and might leave it like this and just add a border. I haven't tried any sashing yet.

My original idea was to set the blocks on point and frame it with some co-ordinating fabric.

At the moment I am not sure so I will leave them on display and think about it. Tomorrow I will try them with some different fabrics. Any suggestions?

I really like the first setting choice. Very pretty.

They do look pretty on point. I suppose it depends what fabrics you will put them with.
I am glad it comes with the numbering instructions or my head would hurt!
The colours look lovely.

Looks like it was a fun class...I really like the first setting choice...perhaps with a narrow sashing to separate the blocks and make them stand out more.. Very pretty.
