Thread: 10-Minute Block - Opinions Please

I've been working on this 10 minute block for the past couple of days. I started out with 10" squares, as the pattern called for, then decided it was way too big to get the desired result. So, this morning found me cutting all the squares down to 6", except the center floral square, which I've left at 10". I like it much better!

I'm questioning layouts...they all seem to look like baseball diamonds! lol I guess that's ok, since it will be going to a DGS and wife who are very outdoorsy people. Maybe it takes on a whole different facet once quilted? I guess ultimately, it's simply a matter of taste? My plan, at this point, is to use bright yellow that matches the yellow in the floral fabric for one of the borders, probably the border closest to all the blue edges. We'll see.

LOVE doing these blocks! They're very easy, and I plan to QAYG as much as possible to keep from having to manipulate the queen size on my home machine. I'll post an update with more photos as I get closer to finishing it.

Thanks for looking!

wow, love the affect you are getting

as you complete this top you will see more circles .. the baseball diamonds will have depth.. good luck ! like your colors. I have the flowered fabric myself for another project !!

oh yes, using a larger inset square does look better. great idea.

i love the first one. the second one reminds me of a cartoon characters's legs and feet LOL

I like the third one best. Love the colors...my bedroom has pale yellow walls and the quilt is in yellow and blue flowers so I kinda biased...lol.

I personally prefer the third one also.

I also like the layout of the 3rd one. Very pretty choice of fabrics.
