Very nice Jeanie--the red shows up again.
Just heard an interesting thing about lightning. We may be only seeing about 10% of the actual strike when it happens. Much like an iceberg; no wonder why it is so dangerous. |
Anael ... you created a wonderful block there ... fabrics were bang on for it! Quite a 3-D effect created.
JeanieG ... a nice pair of blocks for your holiday memories! Did you get some serious FART shopping done with your friend? |

We visited a couple of fabric/quilt shops in Anacortes, WA when we were there. Really did not do much shopping! I came home with a few new fabrics.

Here is my Kansas block...it went together much easier than I thought it would.
|
Love your Kansas block...fabric and color is terrific!!
|
Lovely blocks! Boy ya are just chuggin' along there, aren't ya?:thumbup:
|
Oh I like that block, CarrieM ... and you have me really wishing I could head to my sewing machine and stitch one up!
That'd would make for a great matchy-matchy quilt top of just those blocks and fabrics. |
I really like this one too. It was a lot of pieces so I can't imagine making a whole quilt out of these blocks however I agree it would look really neat.
It is amazing how many blocks I can get done in a week if I am not working on lots of other quilts in between! It is supposed to rain all day Saturday so I will have both Friday and Saturday to sew now... |
Carrie, this block will be a show stopper in your quilt. The viewer's eye will immediately be drawn to it. Put it in a place that deserves the spotlight.
|
........ Though you could use the pattern and make the pieces larger.
|
The contrast is subtle with the darker fabrics but is perfect for this block.

Fabulous blocks as usual.
Lightning is complete. I used, gasp, orange for my second colour. It seemed appropriate. I was going to change up the centre row a bit as I find the block a little boring. But, once I saw the way the orange played, I decided it wasn't boring at all. [ATTACH=CONFIG]475972[/ATTACH] It seems narrower at the bottom in the photo but it isn't. I took the pic at an angle and was too lazy to retake it. |
WOW!! ... look at how the orange comes out of the sage!
As you said before ... a real chameleon that sage is. Well Done .. W4Me! |
Thank you. And it was you who first called it a chameleon. :) And right you were.
|
I like that block W4Me. The orange makes a boring block interesting and will add a pop of color to your quilt.

Thank you janRN - there are a few brights in the mix now.
QuiltE - several people mentioned the sage picking up the other colours but it turns out I was the first to use the term chameleon. Go figure. |
LIke Jan said, the orange makes it interesting. I didn't like the block but I like yours :)
|
Thnak you Anael. It certainly needed something to liven it up.
|
Well liven up it did. And with the triangles pointing up it will draw the eye up in the finished quilt.:thumbup:
|
Thanks oksewglad. I hadn't actually thought to the triangles drawing someone into the quilt. Good point.
