That is one of the prettiest blocks I've seen! Nice job. The color copies are a great idea!

Take a digital picture of the quilt and then in a word program place the block picture side by side to make quilt layout. You can put two small square mirrors together to make an image of four blocks together.

I like it.

Photoshop, ladies... Here's what it's going to look like:

I love this. I think it would make a beautiful quilt with only this block. Do you mind sharing what the name of this quilt is?

That's a way cool block! The colors might be a bit bold but once you get the whole quilt finished the blue background will sort of calm it down.

Beautiful block! :)
Here's sort of what it might look like in straight sets: |
sorry... didn't line up "my" seams so well.... ;-)

OK, I chopped of all your points because it wasn't a straight on picture. It wasn't personal.:wink:
The block by itself is stunning. The colors might be off on my import of the picture. But this is quick and dirty in EQ. Hmmm, so, en masse, that's a lot of that background fabric. Isn't that weird how that works, because the block doesn't seem overpowered by it. But you had a sense. :thumbup: :thumbup: A couple of thoughts (which you didn't ask for)... These are part of Carol Doak's 50 FabStars, right? Great book. If you noticed, some of blocks have a slash of fabric in the corners (diagononally). I don't have the book in front of me, or the software loaded to check. But, maybe, if you did that, perhaps with the white, you could diffuse the blue fabric a bit. It really only needs to be about 1/2" wide. But then you'd have to match it up when you sew the blocks/rows together. I'd try cutting up some thin strips and lay it out on your color copies. How's it look? |
Wow, look how the different settings look!
And it's really important how you end the block. On pollyparrot's blocks, I really see the blue fabric and it looks like there is a white pattern around it. You have to look deep into to see the stars. That is very cool. I like PollyParrot's the best - even though there is no star. Very cool setting. |
