Back from vacation and caught up on my blocks.
The Belle was a little tricky with the Y seams, but I’m satisfied with it and any weirdness will quilt out. Right?
Ugh. Puckery, bulky Caroline. So many little points for a 6″ block with the Caroline. Again – hoping it will quilt out.
The Betty may be my favorite. One, I love the name and two, aqua and red will always be a favorite color combination.
I modified my Coral block. Since these will be on point I didn’t like the little square off center (see below) in the original pattern.
I wonder if I’ll need to refer to the first book for a few of my blocks. I don’t believe there are any repeating patterns between the books and hoping some more traditional blocks are in the first book.
Modified foundation paper piecing. Easier than drawing up an entire block.
These are the colors I pulled for week 2 and 3.
I have quite a few projects I need to work on like a baby quilt, a Fat Quarter Shop project, quilting my Gypsy Wife and Orphan Block quilts… plus the fun things I end up making that distract me. Going to be a busy fall!

I love your modification for Coral! …still wishing a little bit that I had made flying geese too on the sides, but not enough to redo, I suppose.
wondering why the pattern didn’t use flying geese anyhow! Oh well, it’s a great deal of fun and I love seeing and reading everyone’s interpretations…thank you!!

I love the solid designs of your blocks! Great color and a different look!

I’m loving these in solids so much. Your to-do list sounds a little like mine (crazy busy) – hope you get some uninterrupted sewing time! <3

The solids look awesome. How are you choosing colours for each block?
