All my little swap squares are being put to work! I am trying to get the rest of my on point blocks set so I just have to do the appliques...
I will have 12, I think, large blocks to put together for this quilt.
It's been great fun playing with color to keep this quilt balanced. Finding tones and values that work together, yet keep it punchy so each block stands alone as well as all together...
Nothing beats a good 9 patch.. After I made this for a grad quilt for commission last year, I started to make my own, but found it hard to make the SAME quilt twice... then I saw Janet's, and that confirmed for me, that I need one for my own...
Simple is so fantastic sometimes!
So I maybe hitting those 4" blocks sooner than I thought...
I'm at the fun part with this quilt.
playing with borders, and finish details...
but alas, this DESTROYS my studio with fabrics being tossed left and right...
But who can resist making a huge mess?
well, I can't. ;-)
I'll continue to play with this, And enjoy the process of finding it's verdict!
Love your color sense V! Nice post today!
