This photo is of the 2 Matilda blocks. The caramel colors block was the first one I made. Somehow I got my measurements wrong and ended up with a 16" (16.5) block. The blue block is my second try, and it is 12" (12.5).
I am working on a blue daisy theme quilt for my daughter for Christmas (shhh, don't tell my secret). I was making blocks on the Penny Herron Pieced Applique group here, but decided that her method at 12" wasn't working well. The blocks looked too clunky. She designed them to be 6" blocks, but I converted them to 12". Sometimes I should just leave well enough alone!
Sooo, I am now planning to make the remainder of the needed blocks in this method, or even some in the traditional block pattern way. I think her quilt will be nice... so you will be seeing some blue and some caramel blocks posted here. They are not going into the same quilt.
happy quilt!
hugs, Jup
