This is what I did. I love seeing how the pattern changes. I am learning so much about "creating" rather than just following a pattern. I can see so many possibilities opening up for me. Thanks for challenging us.

I just joined in this morning and have completed June and 1 July block. I am going to use peach, brown and off-white and light green in all my blocks. I have been wanting to make a baby quilt with these colors so this will be a crib size sampler. I am really excited about this challenge. First time I have joined in on anything.
Block #1 and #2

I tried to vary the balance of light and dark. It was interesting that, in maintaining the integrity of the pattern, it can be done a lot of ways.
In the last photo, one yellow appears to be orange. It really is not - just a shade darker than the other yellow. Interesting how the photo emphasizes the 'square in a square' appearance.

4 lights - the yellows are two different fabrics, one darker than the other

Here's my three, I like the third one the best. I think it is awesome how you can just put the colors in different places and get a whole new look...love it....ready for #3. I am going to make a red, white and black quilt that is on my bucket list with all my blocks....
Looks like a bullseye

:thumbup: We ALL - or alot of US seem to be just doing the one pattern and duplicating the saaaaaaaaaaame thing, over and over - well that BORES me! What about you?? What a pretty 3 block by 4 block quilt that would make, with the same pattern, same fabrics, but rearranged!
