I finished these two blocks tonight. They need to have the paper removed (saving this for TV night) and be trimmed down to size.

Of all the blocks, I think I'm least happy with Arkansas. Somehow the pink blender just doesn't seem to go very well.
I'm really dying to try these with different fabric designs, introducing as much negative space as possible. I'm going to need to pick up a few yards of background fabric before I can get started on that. I think I will do them on black for that particular project. The Ohio design is a good example of the look I'm going for, similar to the block I put together for my block swap.

Updates coming soon on my Project 144 and Nana's Quilt.
Oh, and I almost forgot. Please meet Persephone, another one of the kittens that we pulled out of the pallet stacks at work. Two down, two to go. This one was adopted by another coworker, who hasn't named her yet, but I like to call her Persephone after the Queen of the Underworld from Greek mythology. It seemed to fit. She is solid black and malnourished, but I think she'll be ok now!
Oh, how precise and pretty! The Ohio block is my favorite! Love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat stars!
ReplyDeleteLove your stars! They look awesome! As much as I like AZ (my home state) I think your Arkansas turned out great! Neat pattern.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much ladies! I'm really enjoying making these blocks.
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks, and what an adorable little kitten. I think your name for her is perfect.
