I couldn't resist trimming a few up and playing with them on the wall. These are little blocks, 6-1/2" after being trimmed (6" finished). I'm using scraps for the colors and mostly scraps so far for the low-volume backgrounds, but I'll need more backgrounds soon.
Dancing Plus Blocks
For anyone interested, my instructions for making the blocks are here.
I got absolutely nothing else done last week due to dealing with the book proofreading and corrections. My house is a mess and some administrative stuff has to be dealt with today as well, so not much sewing will happen for another few days.
Check out what everyone else is accomplishing in their sewing space over at Patchwork Times for Design Wall Monday. I'm also linking up with WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced and Let's Bee Social at Sew Fresh Quilts.
The movement between the blocks is so fun! I hope that you hear back from the book publisher soon or are able to call and have a good conversation with someone.
ReplyDeleteYummy! Love those blocks. :)
ReplyDeleteWho cares if the house is a mess... these are really cute. These would be a really great scrap buster for me... thanks for the link!

ReplyDeleteLove the colors you're working with, and what a fun idea to make them wonky! They look great!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you made the plus signs look like they are dancing. This is such a cute and playful quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love your twist on the plus block. So fun!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty blocks. So fresh and simple! Love them! Work and life does get in the way of quilting some times.... it all gets done.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and very fun blocks. Hope you took care of all your non-sewing business so you can get back to stitching.
ReplyDeleteThese look great, love the feel of movement trimming them this way gives them.
ReplyDeleteLike little sailboats bobbing up and down the waves. Thanks for sharing your progress!
