Just realised there should be another EIGHT of Block 9 ... D'oh!

Just peeked at Block 12 .. it is the same as one of the blocks but not block 11!
which is ok as its simpler than that one!

Hopefully by the end of today I'll be caught up
(yeah right with the extra eight blocks of Block 9 to make as well ... Fat chance!

[Iminei]

You'll love it ... its gorgeous!

[Lilian]

Now you've got me, will go through my fabrics and be at the ready! 

Background fabric you said? I haven't decided on that yet eek!

[Iminei]

AAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!

WHERES Block 13 ???

Who's got Block 13 ????

I NEED Block 13 ?????

[Iminei]

Phew!

Block 13 has appeared and its a simple Bimple HST ... to form ... Im guessing ... a star in the middle of the block ...

I'll do it tomorrow with the reverse image of block 11!! (just guessing!

[Iminei]

Yesterday was a goooood day ... I completed Block 13, which after all the panic turned out to be a 6 1/2" HST!

  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  

I also made block 14 which as I suspected was the mirror image of Block 11

  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  

I also decided (as you do) that my blocks 2 and 3 were too dark a colour and they dominated the quilt so swapped the HST element of those with a better colour ... I hope!

[maliw]

Well done for sticking with it, looking good.

[Iminei]

Well here we are at the end of the Mystery and Blocks 15 were quite frankly a bit Myeh!

4 blocks composed into a 12" (finished) star ...

   [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  

Considering she had us making fairly complicated blocks with teensy weensy 1 1/2" (finished) HST's I thought this was a bit of a cop out so naturally started going off piste.

I need to fill the 12 1/2" hole with lots of teensy HST's to give a ... glittering effect ....

  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  

But Do I do them completely random, as pinwheels, as Hourglasses or ????

You could put in a portion of your shimmer block ??? but personally I think a load of small HSTs all together and similar in tone might look like a solid piece of fabric. It will need some definition from somewhere to take it away from solid mass.

I don't mind her idea but if you want something more showstoppinger you may have to amp up the colours a bit.

Spoiler: show

I think block 13 is a cop out and looks like she ran out of ideas. I thought it at the time but when I see it in your 'finished article' it confirms my view.  Maybe the idea is a simple frame round a complex centre. What do I know? 

Also I am the woman who has been looking at ideas for place mats for a week and still can't decide so feel free to ignore me.

Just do what she said and complete it as it should be is my advice. It'll look odd otherwise
