Artsi2™ PKT Ties Quilt Board Kit by Karen Raum for Artsi2

Just a cute little project to decorate a dresser or shelf.

I bought this for my great niece to do

Pretty but very small pieces to work with

The concept of this great but I don't think it works as well in the small project as it might have in a larger one. The small pieces were hard to work with. If you cut them too large there wasn't enough room to shove the edges in. If you cut them too small you ended up with frayed edges showing. In the end I got it too work but it took longer than anticipated.

I bought this for my 94 yr old mother.

She didn’t read the instructions she took the sticky part off , but she made it work and it turned out even though of her mistake.

I'm really happy with the way this turned out. It was fun digging through my small scraps and making a dresden plate "block", since I probably will never make an actual dresden plate quilt. That said, I'm not sure I'd recommend this one as a beginner project. I found working with the really small pieces, and especially the jagged edged background pieces, rather difficult. Maybe the problem lies with my older, less-than-nimble fingers, but I wish I had done the other kit I bought (the churn dash one) first for the practice.

I thought I’d have problems cutting such small pieces, but it went very well—and very quickly! I used a few of my husband’s silk ties for this and ended up weight with this sweet little picture!

I loved it!

Quick and easy

Used small scraps

Harder to realign such small pieces - tape came off with the fabric, but able to reattach or use my own two- sided tape.

I like how this us so small.

My friend came to visit and we spent lots of time together making the quilt boards. Such fun and lots of quality time.
