I like this block a lot -- that sort of off-kilter arrangement of the checkerboard squares is pretty interesting! I didn't like the Quilter's Cache setting with sashing and cornerstones too much, but I think it might be worth playing around with other settings in EQ one of thee days...
Here's what my design wall looked like with most of my 12" blocks on it...
I think the triangle fabric that you chose for the squares really makes your block in week 24. Did you intentionally chose a brown/green/orange palette for all your 12 inch blocks, or did it just happen by coincidence?
thanks, Kathryn -- yes, I decided to start out doing all the 12" blocks in earthtones and the 10" blocks in cool-colored batiks. When I have enough blocks for a top I'll switch to another scheme...
Welcome to our weekly block party! This is a group blog for sharing our successes and struggles with the week's chosen block. The challenge of completing the weekly block is open to everyone. The block and a link to its online instructions will be posted on Fridays. If you would like to join us, please follow the link to Hetty's blog, or leave a comment on a post indicating you'd like posting priviledges here. I'll be happy to add you as an author -- even if you are only doing some of the blocks :-)
Authors to this blog are asked to label each post with their name and the week# of the block represented by the post. This way we'll all be easily able to see all the blocks for each week as well as all the blocks by any one person. Thanks for your cooperation!
