Yes, I had a problem with the large spool block too, didn't like it, so I made a block with four spools in it which looked more in keeping with the scale of the other blocks, that could be a good alternative if you can't find another block that appeals to you! I too had to make a few extra blocks, still have one more to go! Have yet to decide my layout. Goodluck with getting yours together!!Merilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07017362688960778176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-58119033855051004662012-03-05T18:30:33.728-05:002012-03-05T18:30:33.728-05:00Beautiful blocks!

I like your occasional use of floral fabrics. <br />The spool and X do stand out. You made several other blocks from only one fabric plus the background, but they have more open space. I think you'll be more content if you remade the spool and X using at least a couple fabrics -- or putting them as they are on the back. <br />Design walls are such a great way to catch this type of thing before a top goes together.Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255216150275846123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-29362057894589061772012-03-05T13:01:49.370-05:002012-03-05T13:01:49.370-05:00Love the blocks.

Give the eye a place to rest from all the BUSY blocks. I see you haven't made the shield yet. Use four Blocks that are the Bigger pieces in all the corners.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156858742587928699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-42156291011779765082012-03-05T12:19:53.191-05:002012-03-05T12:19:53.191-05:00Nice civil war fabrics.

They also don't have more than one fabric besides the background like the others do. Perhaps the other blocks yet to be made pull them in? Might be worth reconsideration once the all the blocks are together. Like how your project is coming together.

The simple, bold graphics of the X and spool do stand out--I would probably do the same, and I also wouldn't do the applique blocks. The difference between us is that you actually MADE the blocks and I just kept downloading patterns and never sewing them. : )<br />This is going to be a gorgeous quilt!Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-29023615609606914192012-03-05T09:56:09.228-05:002012-03-05T09:56:09.228-05:00They look great.They look great.heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00247612074517816806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-89611866202581886682012-03-05T09:48:09.763-05:002012-03-05T09:48:09.763-05:00I agree that the spool and the X are distracting. ...I agree that the spool and the X are distracting.

I found it late in the game and didn't make but a handful of the blocks before I had my surgery, but I went back through and devoured the previous posts -- what a treasure of history they were! Did you put yours up on the Flikr group as you finished yours? What a lovely piece this will be when it's finished! :)Denise :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07306906507013593208noreply@blogger.com
