I am so excited about this reveal! It is probably her prettiest yet, IMO:) As soon as we got home from church I had to try out her layout. It's not sewn yet, but I couldn't wait! The neutral centers didn't look right to me, so I am going to use my magenta in its place. After reading that some are going to have extra work to make it 3x3, I am glad I ended up making 2/3 size, so I'll have 3x4.

In the intro Bonnie suggested that the greens should contrast with the yellow. After seeing her quilt, I now understand why she included that tip. Anything lighter than the Garden Spot paint chip tends to blend with the yellow. My teal/turquoise popped when I threw the units together to see how the finished block is going to look. Using a blue green really helps bring out the contrast to the yellow.
Kassaundra , I'm wondering how a pinwheel would look in the center instead of the four patch. |
I love the idea of the neutral 4-patch boarder too! I've never done anything like it, so it'll be an interesting first:)

It looks like a white, pink/purple, and yellow quilt to me. I think I may skip the yellow since we haven't cut it yet, and just use some more green, at least for the big squares she has you cutting in 4's. I can't think of any other color to sub that will work there and make me happy. I'll keep thinking on it, tho.
I did change the center unit of the Grand Illusion block to square in a square, and was never quite happy with it. This center 4-patch isn't bothering me, I guess because it's a neutral patch. |

Well I did it again today. I put 2 neutrals in the #7 clue. I just went with it anyway. I am only making a table topper so I will make 4 large blocks. Here is my block and a picture of it with part of the border in the second picture. I'm happy with it. I did lose some of the pattern but it still is good for me. lol

I forgot to say those blocks are very pretty that were posted.

Lawsonmugs, our quilt could be related! :o
[ATTACH=CONFIG]564742[/ATTACH] NZquilts, I love yours. I wish my brain could do that. |
lawsonmugs, did you mean to have your purple tri recs going the opposite way as Bonnie's?
|
Very pretty GramE. I lost the green pattern in the middle when I made the block with the 2 neutrals instead of the 2 greens. My yellows are much brighter than they show. in fact all the colors are brighter. I'll try to lay it out in a different place and see how it looks.

Mine are pretty accurate as far as color goes. The sun is filling the room right now!
