Laughter

 I've made an asterisk and started sewing the letters together for the word laughter. I made the L bigger, too.

Right from the time I made the U I knew I wanted it to float slightly higher than the baseline.

I made both the T and the R wider. I knew I wanted to float the T. Regular readers know I like to use a variety of WOWs and I use them interchangeably. You can see that in these photos.

Trimming a l-o-n-g word is the biggest reason to have an equally long ruler to use when trimming. Sliding a shorter ruler along doesn't guarantee a straight cut.

Laughter is 41" wide.

I made a few orange-y asterisks, and I like this one a lot.

 

These letters are made without patterns, templates and they are NOT paper pieced. If you want to make your own, you can get my tutorial here at my Etsy shop. It's an instant download so you can get started right away.
