My First 10 Minute Blocks and Crayon Box Block
#85
I love the crayon box. As for the 10 minute block, you did a fantastic job constuctionwise, but I think some of the prints on the block backgrounds compete with the center block and interfere with the look. The strips and dots work beautifully, but use the prints as the center square. You will see the beauty of what you do putting it together that way.

Your blocks are beautiful! Back about 15 years ago, the 10 minute block was known as the '3-D Bow Tie'.Five blocks all cut the same size. Three of the blocks using the same fabric; one of them being the center; or knot.The other two fabrics being contrasting. It makes a very pretty quilt if you would arrange the completed four bow tie blocks; [or 10 minute blocks] in a circle. And then place four more blocks in another circle, without sashing, right next to them.Four of these now put together , [in a circle], leave a beautiful wide open space in the middle to showcase some lovely quilting. I hope this is plain as day, 'cause I'm not any good at sending pictures or drawings. This block is easier to sew than to explain.
