I won some of the sunrise blocks last summer at BLOCK LOTTO. I was excited, but had no idea what to do with them. Last spring I figured it out and [started here]
I remade my pattern as the first one was off. It was the same, just done more carefully.
I picked out some background blues and continued to sew the big sun. I did one quarter of it to make sure the rays and ring would all fit together and they did.
The easiest part was the ring of black and white so I did all of them first.
Three of the rays done. Only one more to go.
Center sun done and ready for next border. A big black and white check was added.
I was slowed down a little bit doing the math and trying to figure out how big the sun should be cut and how big the filler strips should be between the sunrise blocks so it all fit together.
After the sunrise blocks were sewn together and added,
another round of black and white striped fabric was used.
This is where I stopped....I started cutting what I had of this aqua blue, and might even have enough to finish.
But, I think I'll buy some more fat quarters and add a few more for variety.
A trip to the fabric store is planned for Saturday.
