My friend Shelly has a wonderful new tutorial up on the Riley Blake Designs website. The quilt is called Rollin' Along, and you can download it here.

I had fun making a few of these blocks. I decided to play around with some new fabric for the centers and use bright scraps for the spokes.

Actually, for some blocks the center was a scrap and the spokes were cut from some "new" fabric. This one features peace signs (Michael Miller Peace) in the center and for the spokes I cut into my Moda Half Moon.

I love the orange spokes made with Carolyn Friedlander's metallic Botanics fabric and these cute glasses from Riley Blake Designs.
The center here is some Japanese fabric I purchased from City Quilter on my girls' trip to NYC. Is it weird that I can remember that?! The spokes are alternating scraps of some tone on tone green that I can't remember and leftover Technicolor from the {Hugs} Hexie Quilt.
What do you think? I believe the glasses block is my favorite....or maybe the sewing machine one....

I may need to make a few more of these!
You've made a 'traffic light' set of blocks! I LOVE each of them- the glasses, the sewing machine, and the peace signs! Thanks for sharing the link to the pattern too!
ReplyDeleteI think the sewing machine is my favorite.
