Everyone knows how much I love the 100 Blocks magazines. It is creatively refreshing to flip through the patterns and see a wide variety of 12" block designs. When I got the latest issue #15, I was smitten by Bonnie Hunter's block - no surprise I'm sure! On the design wall today is my version of Bonnie's block.
I made this block from a baggie of scrap triangles given to me by a quilting friend at my guild. Although I set myself a challenge to use only the triangles in the bag, I ended up needing to add white squares and rectangles for the outside rows. Total # of block pieces = 133!
These are some of the HSTs being squaring down using the BlocLoc ruler. WOW this was fun block to sew! It will probably be finished as a miniature quilt one day.
As a Bonnieholic...it was no surprise that I liked her block as well. It is piece intensive with that many pieces. But love your colour choices...even if they came from someone else!!! It is on my to do list!!
A wonderful block/mini quilt. I love challenging myself to make something from "only what is in the bag", whatever the source of the bag may be. Added background is always allowed. I'd say you did a smashing job of this!
The block is a beauty -- great colorway! I have trouble with the 100 Blocks series -- I think it's because they are so disparate and my mind wants continuity from design to design.
Very pretty! That is so fun that you created the whole thing from scrap triangles...yahoo!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! :)
ReplyDeletePretty blocks, love the colors. I can't wait to see the whole quilt of these!
ReplyDeletethat is a pretty block - did you press your seams open I wonder with so many pieces in it it seems to lay pretty flat so I am curious
ReplyDeleteThe colors are perfect. If I would have seen 133 pieces before I started, I would have run. Beautiful job.
