No stone will be left unturned! I decided to try another version of the same design shown in the previous blog entry (Diagonal Zigzag - the multi-pastel quilt with the blue border). For this new version I made all the 8" blocks the same. The zigzag disappeared and the result was more of a basket weave.
This is one block.
I thought this might appeal to a brand new quilter who wanted to focus on piecing and not worry about how to arrange blocks that are scrappier. I found all but the blue fabric in my stash. I selected the border print first. It is from a great old Laurel Burch line called Jungle Songs. Next I found four fabrics to go with it. I cut enough 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" strips of each color to lay out several blocks. I played with them for awhile to decide where each color would be placed in the block. In the end, I liked that two warm colors went in the one direction and two cooler colors went in the other direction. I also liked that there were floral, geometric, dotted and marbled prints in the mix.
Some baby will be happy to own this quilt.
