Once again, I made some diagonal blocks all pink and others half pink/half neutral. I also made some all pink straight-set blocks.
I've been thinking of how I will put this year's blocks together. I worked up a couple of ideas on EQ7 which I am still refining.
This one has arcs (like a rainbow!) of colors. I like it, but I'm not sure about it.
This one is straight-set--I'm thinking I like is better than the first. I would need to add a border to the top like the one I have indicated on the bottom.
More thinking is in order!
I am enjoying the challenge--thanks to soscrappy for hosting it.
I am linking to Scrap Happy Saturday Parade of Pink and Fiber Tuesday 131 at The Quilting Room with Mel.
Love both of your quilt ideas but, like you, I think I prefer the second one - the vertical strips. Pretty pink string blocks.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. Thanks, too, for visiting.
ReplyDeleteI can't really appreciate the arc in the first one. I like to do diagonal going from bottom left to upper right. It seems to be the way your eye moves across the quilt anyway. Have also done off-center placement, with the change in color or direction off center a bit to the right and down. A quilt professional mentioned that this really does help your eye move across, and adds interest. Something to try.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the ideas, and thanks for visiting.
DeleteLOVE the rainbow color arc layout!!
ReplyDeleteThanks--I'm still on the fence. :) I'm going to make the four-patches and then decide.
DeleteThanks so much for visiting--I really appreciate it
oooo - I really, really love that first one! These pink blocks are gorgeous, by the way.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lynette.
