So, this was supposed to be a long-term project. Funny how that is not happening...
One test block became another. And then I couldn't resist pulling fabrics for a third block. Each block is its own palette, and it's fun to pull favorite fabrics and combine them. Plus, a new FQ order arrived, ordered specifically for this project, with some fussy cutting possibilities.
With all this practice, sewing those tight curves has gotten easier and they're coming out smoother. This quilt is planned to be 20 blocks, so I have a few to go.
I'm trying hard to make the blocks not all matchy-matchy. I want some clashiness in most blocks and in the overall palette for interest. It's really hard for me to do clashy!
So far, there are no repeated fabrics. With six fabrics per block I don't know if that will last or if I'll eventually have to repeat something. We'll see.

Beautiful blocks!!
ReplyDeletefun blocks with so much of interest
ReplyDeleteIf it interests you, might as well keep going, right?! The blocks look fantastic together and I know I would struggle with keeping things from being matchy-matchy, too.
ReplyDeleteVery cool and colorful blocks. If it's fun keep at it. You can get back to your other projects later.
ReplyDeleteLove the take on the Dresden Block. Matchiness vs. Clashiness - that is the question! Good luck in your sewing endeavors.
ReplyDeleteI love these!
