How FUN is this traditional block done up in
Cotton+Steel prints?
I'm meeting myself coming and going this week! Every spare minute is spent writing or quilting, and sometimes both at the same time. It's all good, and very exciting, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm going to make my deadlines. My day to post for Christmas In My Heart is Wednesday, and is also the lauch for Uppsala Stars.
I've found that playing with one block until you've explored many possibilities leads you to even more discoveries. Play is good!
Make it in lots and lots of different fabrics, and modify it many times. I spyed this green, floral Jennifer Paganelli print at JoAnn's, and knew the spotted brown fabric at home in my stash would be perfect to set it off.
I started using this block last summer in this Patirotic Quilt Flimsy, and have made many renditions.

It's really interesting to see this block in so many different fabrics. Is it a traditional block? If so what is it called.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've seen that block before. It would be a great scrapbuster.

ReplyDeleteThe brown spotted fabric does set off the Paganelli print. And that last block is definitely my favorite. Sounds like you are busy busy busy.
