When I started working on this pattern I wasn't sure if I wanted the size that the pattern made or maybe a smaller wall hanging size. Once I finished my first 4 blocks I new I wanted a smaller size.
This will fit perfectly on the wall in my kitchen.
I paper pieced my stems and received a few emails asking for directions explaining my process. Unfortunately I can't show any pictures of the stem block from the pattern, that would be a copyright violation. But if you have the pattern, trace half the stem block onto a piece of paper, take the curve out the stem, but leave the outer stem placement exactly where it is on the pattern. Start from the left and move to right, 7 pieces, and you're done, voila!
Sinta and Nicole are working away on their full size Viola's, and I love them both, check out their progress. Also, be sure to let me know how you're doing on your progress if you've decided to sew along.
This will fit perfectly on the wall in my kitchen.

ReplyDeleteWhat a difference a cover photo makes! I wouldn't have looked at the pattern twice but I adore your version. Not sure if it's the color. I think it might be the size that I like better. I think the larger one might look better with a proportionally larger border. Love yours!
ReplyDeleteI love it!!!! Congratulations on another beautiful finish. I look forward to seeing Nicole's and Sinta's as well.
ReplyDeleteI too prefer yours, size and colours, wonderful.XXX

ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, what a sweet quilt!! I did read the previous blog post - and I must be cross eyed, as I had read it as "Voila" also. So if I get to make this one, I'll be saying that a lot! Thanks for sharing Thema!
