By the skin of my teeth I have achieved my July goal which was to pull fabrics and complete one block for the Summer Sampler ...... I am linking up over at Red Letter Quilts as a finish!
I know, I know Block 12 is being released tomorrow but I had so much trouble deciding on fabrics.
I finally made a selection:
The solids are Kona Cotton from a FQ bundle I won from Sew Fresh Quilts at the end of last year - it feels great to be cutting into them at last! The prints are all Art Gallery Fabrics (apart from the bottom orange which may not make it in) that I got at the CHSI show at the NEC earlier this year. The background is Kona Silver.
And the all important block:
This was Block 10 and is called Parallel Block. It is a paper pieced block designed by Holly deGroot of Bijou Lovely Designs. It was a really nice block to make and shortening my stitch length down to 1.5 really helped the paper rip easily and cleanly when it came round to that. It's not a true reflection of the colour because it's dark here and it was taken under strip lighting. I love the nice clean lines of this, unlike my studio table at the end!!
So, goal achieved for July but I really need to get on with this now. I am going to try to do each week's block + a catch up block - maybe that should be by OMG for August! x
I love your fabric choices. They are so inviting and relaxing. I'm anxious to see your progress on the blocks.
ReplyDeleteWell done! I like your fabrics and look forward to seeing how the blocks come together for you.
ReplyDeleteI really love the selection of fabrics you chose! ... and yes, foundation paper piecing is a messy job :)
ReplyDeleteLovely color scheme and beautiful block!

ReplyDeleteThe biggest challenge will be however, to find the best one for yourself when you are going to perform the colon cleansing process. You can choose that product for your colon cleansing procedure that will suit your needs and requirements as well as your lifestyle. Along with this process, you should also be careful to maintain a healthy lifestyle so that you can stay fit and in shape. You should add to your diet lots of vegetables and fruits so that you can keep your body system detoxified.

I am in the same position.... can't decide on Fabrics. And as I am behind on the Beehive blocks this month, think should concentrate on that first! 😀 Great choice of fabrics xx
ReplyDeleteThat fabric pull was worth the wait! So pretty! Beautiful block. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely colors....drool!
ReplyDeleteYay for you! Just saw this and liked it on Instagram and here is the post! It's just gorgeous from colours to fabrics to execution.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful block and fabric combo.

ReplyDeleteI love the way your fabrics are working in this block! Brilliant choices!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful block! Your fabric selections are gorgeous. Good luck with your August goals, catching up seems to be my main mode this year too.
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics are gorgeous! Thank you so much for linking up with One Monthly Goal, I hope we get to see four new blocks in August!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colour choices for the design. I love both and wait to see your progress =)
ReplyDeleteGreat colors and so inspiring! Congrats on just making the deadline. That reminds me so much of how I do things! I could suppose that I like the pressure, but no, it's really all about time management for me, or lack of it. Your block is so perfect, and worth the wait!
