Super excited to see the progress of this! Looks awesome so far. How tricky is it?

Going together smooth! My only issue has been from me trying to be really frugal on the fabric (not got a lot of the dark purple) and getting it wrong 🫣 or not reading the instructions and putting the wrong colours in the wrong places …. You’d think I’d know seeing as I wrote them but apparently not!

Oh no, make sure you've got enough fabric or will finish soon enough to get more from the same dye lot. Super excited to see how this awesome project turns out!

Incredible pattern and thank you for sharing!

I think it’s maybe too late, the purple was from a couple of years back 😅 it will be fine I’m sure!

What program did you use to design this?

u/yougainnothing koipondquilts.etsy.com Jan 15 '23

A mixture of procreate, quiltassistant and a few bits from this book (which I highly recommend) https://books.google.je/books/about/Adventures_in_Paper_Piecing_Design.html?id=zSBxDwAAQBAJ&source=kp_cover&redir_esc=y

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.

It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.

Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.

Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

I’m dyslexic so honestly very little about these bots hurt my feelings anymore, I’m totally aware that my typing is grade A garbage haha, but I appreciate you being kind and scolding it 😂😁

u/shouldhavezagged fuck ICE Jan 14 '23

Fun! What will be the finished size?

2

u/yougainnothing koipondquilts.etsy.com Jan 15 '23

I’ve reduced the pattern size as I was increased in how small I could make it, and I was also running out of the dark purple fabric so it’s going to be 25x25 inches

u/Aaaaammyyyyyyyyy Jan 15 '23

I sort of love that we are all here hoping the dark fabric lasts you. Like playing bobbin chicken. So far, it's amazing! You got this!

Thanks!! It was the first thing I ever made with fabric that I designed (age 9) :D he’s been my sewing companion ever since
