These blocks are SO MUCH FUN!!! You can put some of the most random fabrics together, and collectively the result it beautiful! I used up a ton of scrap 2 1/2" strips in this process, but I have enough to make 10 more of these quilts! I tried to put the darkest fabric in the center of the block, but that was the only fabric placement that was planned.
This past weekend we had BEAUTIFUL sunny weather! I could hardly wait to get outside and get fresh air! After a 3.5 run on Monday, I was blessed to see a Bald Eagle flying circles around the harbor. :) I about jumped out of my skin with excitement. Today has been cold and rainy, but having a sunny weekend was a great cure-all for a long winter indoors.

| My Favorite Block! |
I have really been settling in to Northern Michigan, and I am LOVING IT! This past weekend was a riot, and non-stop! There is a lot of local culture, as well as tons of ways to explore nature. I think I may have found my forever-home; I don't think I'll ever want to leave.
Also, don't forget that my new pattern "When In Rome" is now available on Craftsy! Find it HERE.
Have a lovely week!

Both of these quilts are beautiful! I really like the white used on the When In Rome!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I like using solids as a place for the eye to rest. :)
DeleteHello there! I saw your lovely quilt on Flickr. Had to come and say how beautiful it is. I am working on a second one.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I can't wait to start my next one! These are so much fun!!!
DeleteI love your STATW! your When in Rome quilt is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI keep fighting the urge to make a scrappy trip along but I have a feeling it is coming sooner rather than later. Because really they just look so pretty when they are done.
ReplyDeleteYou should do it! It's almost instant gratification! Sorry for being an enabler haha. :)
DeleteLove your scrappy quilt, it is beautiful with those fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!
DeleteYour scrappy quilt looks great! I can't decide which look I like better... the low volume ones, or the really vibrant ones like this. You did a great job arranging the colors... organized but still spontaneous looking. And congrats on your new pattern!
ReplyDeleteboth great quilts - but i'm itching to try the scrappy one (it's the guilt of starting another project when i have so many unfinished ones) -beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteYour Scrappy Trip looks very happy, perfect for summer!
ReplyDeleteI have just been working on my scrappy trip blocks tonight. You are so right that you can put just about anything together and it looks beautiful together! How many blocks did you make for your quilt top in the photo?
ReplyDeleteI love your color version.
ReplyDeleteLove these quilts! Great fabrics. Especially love that border fabric on When in Rome.
