Dodecagon 2


To make the second dodecagon ... so yes I know that a dodecagon has 12 sides and this shape has 12 papers makes no nevermind.... I used fray check on the edges of the woven fabric and ironed them dry between silicon sheets.  I fray check seemed to turn into clear rubbery substance.  I have always let it dry on its own before.  Learn something new every day.  I managed to have enough fabric in the center for the points to come together.  I was going to applique a circle in the center. but I like it as is so I need to go back and rework the first one I did to make the center look better.  

While going thru instagram I saw a Grandmothers flower garden quilt that has been quilted with concentric circles.  I am thinking that maybe I should quilt the pillow end of My Aunt Mellie's quilt like that.  Hmmm.  I wonder how many of these blocks  I will make for the border.  I keep changing my mind. At least 3 ..... I may quit when I run out of this selection of fabrics.

EPP Dodecagon

 


Just finished my first dodecagon for the border of Aunt Millie.  I think I will applique a small circle over the center of the points.
