I wanted to try a block last night - so here it is. I didn't see a separate picture thread, so I hope this is the right place to post this. This is a 9 1/2 inch block - because that is the largest size I could do with the scraps I was using. I think I may do 6 1/2 inch blocks though when I do it "for real" with the templates so that I have a little more wiggle room for cutting back. Not sure though. Still thinking it over.
Anyway - thanks for looking! It was fun!

The contrast is one area some people are weaker on. The better and stronger the contrast the better my designs look in real life. IMHO LOL
I will start a picture thread for the Sampler.

That's what I've been working on today.....contrast. I had gotten 5 sets of 5 FQ's. A purple, blue, green and yellow/orange and one set of the same colors in a small print. What I had originally planned was doing a block in one color, since it had 5 shades in each bundle. But I didn't like it. Not enoug contrast in the shades. So my blocks are going to be bright. Using I FQ from each little bundle. It's going to be so different than the first sampler. But I think it's going to be fun. So when my eyes undialate, I may be starting my block tonight. But tomorrow for sure.
So glad you posted Obsessed.... wonderful block.

that is where I started designing. I wanted to stretch to have more better designs for my hotpads.

Here is my first weeks block. I'm making them in 6" this time. Mostly jewel tones. This will be fun, because I've been on a teal kick and before that it was burgany and greens. I think before I die, I will cover the spectum of all the colors. Katie

Beautiful Katie. You are brave doing 6 inchers. I am going to do 18 inch blocks. I have finally decided on fabric and hopefully will finish it tomorrow. I think I have a plan. I hope it works out.
