I'm glad you issued a block this week, because I'd really miss it. I kind of used the block design as a 'suggestion' and put my own twist on it. I changed the location of the dark and light, and then add a third color to fill in a nine-patch in the center. It is an easy but good block. Thanks Hetty. Kathie L in Allentown

I'm on a roll!
After breaking thru my inertia to do a couple months old block, yesterday I managed to make the actual block for the actual week we are in!
The not-green fabric is actually a christmas print. A coyotes & cactus christmas print. I choose the green because it was the most christmas-y colored, reads-as-solid fabric closest to hand that was not reflected in the pile of scraps I was pulling from. I knew it would be busy, but thought it could still be crisp.
The block is a piece of cake. I don't think it took me 30 minutes, working from oddly shaped scraps that I cut down quick & put together. I am not crazy about the dominating green. It is hard to see in this picture, but this is a BIG block & that is A LOT of green). I will make this again in more blended fabrics, for sure.

An Easy Week

I decided to post an easy block this week. I am still working on the 'Hope of Hartford' that I changed into a 9in. block, so I am very busy. I have 5 more of those blocks to make.
The block for this week is called, 'My Favorite Quilt'. It is a 12 inch block.
Happy Quilting!
