Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Craftsy Block of the Month 2012 »

Instructions

I'm off the grid a bit. Making blocks a little different if I do not care for the pattern that month. I've used a lot of color - wish I'd narrowed that to one color group. I do not care for the gold background fabric but I had plenty of it on hand.Loving this course!

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Home

Style: Funky


Materials

100% cotton from my stash

What was your inspiration?

I want to keep up with the monthly blocks even though I have a lot of other demands on my time. I'm really enjoying the challenge of the different blocks.

What are you most proud of?

When I have not liked a block, I create a version I do like. Also I'm keeping up with each month. Getting behind is toxic!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Just enjoy where the course takes you and let the quilt turn out however it will. You are dancing with the fabric!

Thank you - I really appreciate the encouragement. as I look at the blocks for July, I think I want to change completely. I'm moving this week so late in completing the July blocks but ...I'll try to stay within colors due to your kind comment.

That gold would make great sashing. Great seeing your blocks all together.

Thank you. I believe it will be sashing or border.
