I think they turned out A-okay!
I like the look of Jo's red with plaids, and I remembered I ordered one of those woven scrap bags from Keepsake Quilting that I'd never used. So, I dug in and found a few pieces I could use for background. I 'm also planning to use African fabrics in these blocks ... where will they go? who knows!
When I made the geese I didn't clip off the little corner of the rectangle as she instructed; the first ones I did were too uneven and off kilter, so I made new ones and left the background corners attached. Easier to square up that way. Also, she suggested squaring up at 6" but I did mine 6-1/2" in case I misunderstood; I can always trim them down.
So that takes care of last week's blocks... now to tackle this week's assignment!
Sew forth and sew on ...
YEAH!! Love the blocks. I did mine 6.5", too - much easier for me to 'math' out a lay-out with them.
ReplyDeleteLinda, the colours you used really make the red pop. They both look great.
ReplyDeleteLove the red!
ReplyDeleteI really look forward to seeing yours with african prints. Your first blocks look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit unsure of the finished size myself.
This is going to be one beauty of a quilt. The colors are so nice!
