Scrappy Saturday

The 2021 punctuation themed sampler quilt called Full Stop has been really fun to sew. Each month Angela posted a block pattern to sew in the colour of the month. I made 4 blocks each month and this week I finished sewing the last block pattern, which was a period. 



It was fun to pick out the colours and to look at all the blocks on the design wall. I didn't sew the side pieces on as I'm waiting to see what the layout is to determine the block size.


This is the layout that I'm leaning towards. I think it needs one more red exclamation mark block on the top right.
Any ideas you'd like to share to improve this design?

I am hoping to sew the blocks together over the Christmas break and have a quilt top by the end of 2021.

  2. I really like Jikke13's comment to add the words "Full Stop". I still have a couple of the months to catch up on, but keep watching how everyone else's quilt develops. I love how a design like this lets personality shine in the end. Can't wait to see what you do.

    Since all my blocks aren't done yet, I was even thinking to see if I could fit them in a round-robin setting. They may be too long already...

  3. Perhaps a few more commas in that last row to make it look like the other rows?
    This is looking so great--nice work,,,hugs, Julierose

  4. I love the layout so far. I am sure it will evolve as you sew the blocks together. So many bright and happy colors!

  5. Yep vote on adding "full stop" someplace in the layout...
    When I see this quilt around I keep thinking the punctuations to be messed around and jumbled a bit more with each other
