This week I picked one of Amy's BOM blocks called "Blackford's Beauty". I recognized the block from one of my UFO's that I have been making for one of my nieces. It is one of my oldest UFO's and I really like it, so I dug around in the cupboard so I could show it on my blog. I really must finish this quilt...the only problem was the size and I could easily fix that with some work on the borders. Which is the reason why I haven't finished it...I don't like sewing borders! But I dislike old UFO's more than I dislike borders, so I'll get on it!
I made my arrow blocks using 3 flying geese, instead of the method that Amy used, so I thought I'd try her way today.
Once I twisted the 4 patches on the corners, I really liked it!

If you haven't entered the draw for a mini Valentine's quilt, you still have time. I'll be drawing the winner's name tomorrow - click here.
I love your block. Your colors are great, and the lighter pink does make the center design stand out more.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Kathy---someone else had turned her 4-patches as well which gives a nice "diagonal" throughout the entire block.
ReplyDeleteI hope to find your inspiration for the UFO because the colors are lovely!!!!
Happy Saturday
Kathy, another great block for your sampler!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your decision to put the pink 4 patch, so much better!
Happy Valentine's day Kathy!
This is a beautiful block in your colorway. I'm happy you led me to your blog!
ReplyDeleteI prefer the second version of the block aswell.

I guess I must be in the minority- I liked the first block- and would have liked the second block with the darker fabric from the first- to each his own!! They are both great though- just my own personal preference. Glad I found your blog!! Happy Valentines Day to all!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun project you created! I enjoy looking at all of your sampler blocks.
ReplyDeleteHello Kathy, love your choice of colours....especially changing to the lighter pink...Warm Regards Lyn
