You know, I really thought these Amy Butler LOVE quilt blocks would come together much more quickly. Here's what I have so far.
It's not the greatest picture, but it's the best I could do. The original layout calls for five blocks by five blocks, but I'm not crazy about making this a square, so I'm considering four blocks by five blocks. We'll see how it goes. The missing block just needs one more strip sewn. I just threw (well not literally) the blocks on the floor to take a picture...this won't be the final layout.
For one thing, I'm not sure about the "two tone" blocks shown above and below. I just sort of pieced as I went, and then ran out of those particular solids.
Whether I keep these two or not will depend on whether I get tired of sewing solids to LOVE blocks before I get enough blocks to finish....chances are I will keep these two ;-)
The finished block size is 15" by 15". As usual, I would love to hear your suggestions!
Have an amazing day!!!
Rene -- this is beyond yummy! I love the choices of colors and variation of colors for the solids! I LOVE the two-toned blocks. Gives a little depth and unexpectedness. Running out of fabrics and substituting has always increased the creativity in my quilts! And those "different" blocks are usually the ones people like and make a comment about :D
ReplyDeleteI really like the two-toned blocks. I noticed them in the first photo and thought they were a clever way of adding depth and interest - subtle, but effective. I'd call it a happy accident and definitely put them in the quilt.
ReplyDeleteI like the two-tone blocks. I think they gives the project great dimension and movement. And I love these colors! I have been wanting to make a few of these blocks lately, so I'm inspired now after seeing your progress.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors! I sorta wish there were a few more two-tone blocks. Not necessarily a ton - just 4 or 5 total. Maybe one per row? I really love the blue two-tone - it was the first thing to pop out at me!
ReplyDeleteThat looks gorgeous! I love the colours.
ReplyDeleteI like the color combinations, Rene. I also like that just a few blocks have the two tone borders for some added interest. MIght be nice if the last block also has the border variation bringing the ones that are different up to 3, an odd number. Can't wait to see the final product.
ReplyDeleteAnother vote in favor of the two-tone... I love added scrappiness, in a subtle way!
