This month we made 32 full flower blocks and 8 half flower blocks. Cheryl gave some helpful tips for those of us who are making scrappy versions of the quilt which were great!
First, I made the sets including half blocks. Each set has one right-facing half block, one left-facing half block, and one full block all with the same blue fabric.
For the remainder of the full flower blocks, I made them in sets of four. In total, I used seven different blue fabrics and five different red fabrics in my blocks. The green fabric is the same throughout.
Given that we've made half blocks, I think that our quilt will end up on point, but I'm still unsure how everything will come together! We'll also be doing more cutting in a later month, so we'll see where that takes us!
Your blocks look great, Alison, and I love how the scrappy is coming together. I'm definitely eager to make my blocks this month... we'll see if I can do them any earlier than last month, haha. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat colors, I'm anxious to see the whole quilt;)
ReplyDeleteHi Alison,
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love where this is going so far. I really like the different blue shades - one looks more green, and all they all look great with the gray and red. I can't wait to see how this comes together. ~smile~ Roseanne
Wow, you were fast on that clue! Cheryl did give great instructions, I went controlled scrappy on one of my fabrics too and she made it easy to work those in. Your flowers turned out beautifully.
ReplyDeleteWhat a very fun block and yours turned out beautiful! I can't wait to see how this all comes together!
