Color changes

I changed three pieces in the green/blue wedges.
You can also see some of the first leading. I'm READY to buy the preglued black bias!!!! The kona cotton doesn't like to take the adhesive. I have to use the tiny iron and you have to really press hard. My hand will never make it.
One third is tacked down with the steam-a-seam strips. Is Steve still naked, or does he have a cloaking device?

Wow! Oh, wow, oh, wow!
Look at how much you've gotten done - wow! None of the greens or blues jump out at me. I am particularly enamored of the diamonds surrounding the white arcs. Wow.
So, what's the deal with the adhesive? Are you having to iron it to the leading? Why do you have to use the tiny iron? (inquiring minds...) Can I help, or take over the hard part, or something?
I can see where the leading is started in the picture. It is going to make SUCH an impact.
Did I mention? --- WOW!
Okay, Steve is still unclothed, but he's not bald. It's still early in the game and I'm starting to wonder/worry about how he's going to come together. Part of him is fused, part will be turn-under applique. ALL of him will be attached to a background TBC (to be created) - I'm trying to figure how to build him before the backing is birthed (it's barely a twinkle right now).
And leading him? It's giving me gas. I think I'll wait until he's completely done and then figure out what to do.
You have SO much more to show for your week than I do, but them's the breaks I guess.(Wow!)

Steve's new 'do
I definitely need to tone down his upper lip. 20 feet or no, it's just too much for me to bear. It's glowing. (melodrama moment, 'scuse me...)
The (hair) threadwork will definitely help, too. Maybe tomorrow he'll get a cloak, if not a neck.
Another Element!

While it's snowing beautifully, I tried cutting out some squares from the Stargazer fabric.
First I had to figure out the template size. These half square examples, for the narrow quilts (blocks S), are really pretty. They are just the wrong size. They are okay for the length but 1/4" shy for the width.
I've got the formula straight now. Here it is:
finished block size + 1 3/4" divided by 2 = template size
Here's the new fabric. It shows lighter than we thought it would which is great.
