Welcome to my blog. Today I'll be posting about how I design my blocks and quilts. I'll also be giving away a copy of the 100 Blocks magazine and 2 chubby fat quarter packs of the Quilting Treasures "Sausalito" fabric which I used in my block. Here's a picture of the block used in a virtual quilt - designed in EQ7. En
It`s just beautiful and the diamonds borders caught my eye.Is a paperpiecing block?Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI pieced it without paper, but the pattern is paper pieced in the magazine. Either way would be easy enough.
ReplyDeleteWow... Great design in the computer. Even better in fabric... Just need the magazine as I have a stash. Lol
ReplyDeleteIt would be a super block to us with scraps as well.

ReplyDeleteI love the way the quilt has movement. My eyes just keep moving and moving and moving. I see one thing and then my eyes move to another. Before I can really focus, my eyes have already moved. Is this due to the pattern, the fabrics chosen, or the interplay? Congrats on being included in the superb publication. Each block seems better than the previous. What a great end to today's tour.
ReplyDeleteI never would have guessed that your block would make that design--very cool!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteVery dramatic when you put a bunch of blocks together!
ReplyDeleteLove your dramatic block -Thx for a chance
ReplyDeleteI like how you planned your block ahead of time so that it would open out at the corners to fit together with other blocks.
ReplyDeleteI like how the blocks fit together and it's not obvious where one block ends and the next starts.
ReplyDeleteNice block - I love to use stripes in my quilts. Ever notice that stripes are always in the sale bin! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone how brilliant the movement within a grouping is.
ReplyDeleteI love the block. It is so interesting.
ReplyDeleteAwesome when all shown together! LOVE the secondary patterns that emerge. Stunning fabric choices!
ReplyDeleteSo many possibilities. I can't wait to make several and do the magic "Spinneret" on it. It would be a great block to use with holiday reds and greens too! Kudos again!
