The Birthing of Another CQ Block


Playing with fabric this morning and enjoying these few hours of "totally alone" time I get on Wednesdays. This is how I start putting my blocks together, pulling fabric that may or may not go together, both color and texture wise. I mix cottons with fancies and try to mix every other piece to give it some sense of movement. This is one of my most absolute favorite parts of a crazy quilting. Back to play, I'll post later what I came up with.
PS.. This is for August TIF.
(Thanks Paula Hewitt for the teal silk, the rust floral and Japanese blue print.)

I agree, it's fun to figure out what goes with what. And it'll be fun to see what you come up with...

I love what you've pulled together there! Looks wonderful, just as it is. I look forward to seeing what you do with it.

Wednesday is my good day, too. DH goes to the laundry for at least an hour. LOL!

This is looking great! I thought at first I wouldn't like the colours for August, but they are growing on me. I love the challenge because it forces me to use colours I would never would have on my own.
