Block 3 here I come!








This is my very first time posting a blog so apologies for any weirdness in how it looks. Any tips? I spent a lazy day over Easter completing my Block 2. Here it is along with my Block 1 which has slightly different fabrics from Meg's. The pink and orange "flower" seems to float on the "star". Block 2 didn't take me half as long as Block 1 and those tails were still a bit thick but with some careful trimming and cautious folding, I think I've got them beat. Isn't it great how the same block can look so different. Have had a sneak preview of Block 3 which looks yummo! Can't wait.

  1. Beautiful! What is the fabric in the squares?

  2. I have no idea what those fabrics are. We have to do quite a bit of fussy-cutting for those. Block 1 squares came from a gorgeous Arabian Nights-type design. Those blue horse-shoes in Block 2 squares are the top halves of long paisley patterns.

  3. Block 1: All but the outside yellow triangles are Westminster fabrics. The stripe is mirage stripe by Kaffe Fassett, the center hexagon is Philip Jacobs and the squares are out of a Liberty of London print by Kaffe Fassett.
    Block 2: The only ones I know for sure is the center is a Philip Jacobs and the squares are Kaffe Fassett. On mine the squares are Amy Butler I think. I'm not sure what the outside yellow/green triangles fabric is but I bought some about a week before I received the fabric so can find out if you're interested.
    I believe the background fabrics are Reece Scannell shot cottons.
