Alright, let's talk about my project. Alison was so generous to send the Bike Path collection my way -- including the matching prints from her previous collections! I decided to play around with some pieced quilt blocks, focusing on using only one print & a crisp white background fabric. The color saturation & clean, modern print of the fabrics speak for themselves.
This block is from the first mini quilt of the Fresh Mini Quilt Club: Round 2 -- more on that coming Monday! I really love how each block turned out, especially with the prints all running the same direction. These little details make my heart sing! Now I just have to decide on a block layout and size for this quilt!

Lisa. 😊
I would make a quilt for my cousin's daughter, who will be going to university in a couple of years. I'm gathering fresh, vibrant fabrics for the "just right" quilt for Miss Maddie, and these would be perfect--I'm impressed that they are both interesting and calming at the same time. Not many fabrics possess both those qualities
ReplyDeleteI have a new grandbaby coming in the spring and a quilt with any of those would be great for a spring baby:)
ReplyDeleteLove your blocks and with these beauties I`d love to make a baby quilt and the leftover to make a super cute scarf for me.

ReplyDeletei would make a quilt for a friend at church that has glacoma and can only see bright colors. babscorbitt at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteA question unrelated to this post :S I recently got the 'quilty' magazine issue that contains Chevron & On. I'd like to make this quilt with the Bungalow bundle that I just won but I have a question. The way that you've stated to do the HST would not be my preferred way, I don't like working with the cut on diagonal square and that stretchy bias edge. My question is, if I want to do the one square of print on top of one square of solid, sew on the diagonal - twice and then cut in between, do I still cut the squares the same size as stated in the cutting instructions. 4 7/8" ??? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a quilt.
ReplyDeleteI would make a cheery wall hanging!
ReplyDeleteI would use the text and feather fabrics with the farmers wife quilt I am about to embark on! I want it to have a modern twist to it!
ReplyDeleteI am part of Fresh Mini Quilt Round 2 and am wondering if you are planning to post more about the first quilt like you mentioned above: "This block is from the first mini quilt of the Fresh Mini Quilt Club: Round 2 -- more on that coming Monday!"? I am done piecing and am wondering about ideas for quilting this mini!! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThe Old Maid's Puzzle block looks very pretty in those colors!
ReplyDeleteI would like to do a bright quilt using this. I would be selfish and keep it for myself for once.
