Block 2

By Marjorie

For some reason blogger is not working on my computer. Lets see if it works on the phone. I fussy cut the pattern on the big leaves and like how they turned out. I decided to use the same fabrics for all the corner flowers. At least until I run out.

Benjamin Biggs - Block Two

This is my second block.  I thought I would make all my corner buds cheddar and add a little more cheddar through out the quilt to give it a little different look.
I have been working on so many red and green quilts lately it’s becoming a little monotonous.

Here is my Block 2,  I hope I can continue to keep up.

Quilter501 - Block 2 - French General Fabrics

I made a commitment to try to use my stash for this quilt.  So first, I cut up my solids this month and arranged the 5 solids I had from this French General collection and decided how I could best arrange the various background selections.  Here is a picture of how I tentatively will place the various solid blocks.  You can see the first two blocks in the upper left hand corner.  The lightest color is this month's block.

Then I continued trying to do this block in Broderie Perse from some of the gorgeous florals.  The buds may be the death of me but I will keep trying.  I decided to try to do the Broderie Perse closely appliqued because of the differences in the backgrounds.  Each block may be different.

I love this quilt....and even the large blocks.  I am looking forward to how each background color fits with the prints and florals I have.

Block 2

I completed block two and now I am kind of wavering on how much and if I really like these big 16 inch blocks. A redo of the first two blocks may be happening, stay tuned...

Block 2

Hi all,
  I have my second block done. Woo,hoo. This one was easy. I added indigo blue to the block just like I plan to do to all the blocks. I don't want to overwhelm the red, so I just added a little blue insert on the red.  The red was from stash, a long time ago, I wish I had more of it. I noticed one of my pictures from last month vanished mysteriously.  I don't know what happened. It was my stash for this quilt, so I will try to post it again.

Block 2

I just finished sewing block 2. All caught up for the month.

Happy sewing ladies,

Kel.
