I am happy with the positions and sizes of my sunflower drawing but now the problem of transferring it to the block... I have an aversion to making marks in the front of a block unless absolutely necessary. I've also seen both "disappearing pens" and transfer papers smear and bleed... So I used my computer to reverse the image and place in on the BACK of the block. I cut away parts to trace around with a pen. I basted the traced marks and when I turned the block over to the front I had a nice guide to the drawing basted there. I really like doing my marking on the back of the block.
While doing this I kept thinking about the odd little black triangle and wondering if it had a secret meaning for Gerry Hookstra... Then I had an idea how to repeat it in the block... Check back...
What is that old saying "where there's a will, there's a way"? You can come up with the neatest solutions to getting things done! Who else would have thought to apply it to the back! Thanks for sharing! Ruby
ReplyDeleteGerry,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder in using the back to mark the front. I had used this frequently in applique and just had not transferred the idea to CQ! Brilliant!
Thanks,
Susan
