Last week I shared my first set of blocks made using the pattern Blue Onion by Karla Alexander of Saginaw Street Quilts.
The blocks turned out okay, but they weren't quite what I was going for. I decided to try again with different fabrics. The second set of blocks were made with all batiks, and I cut the pieces for all 48 blocks for my quilt before stitching any of them together. That made it possible for me to get a wider variety of fabrics in each block. After much time rearranging pieces at the design wall, followed by an afternoon sewing session, I ended up with these blocks.
This new project was inspired by the quilt along hosted by Corinne and Cecile at the Cocopatch website. Their theme this year is curves, and it gave me the perfect excuse to make this pattern that I have owned for several months. The quilt along has just started, so it's not too late to join the fun and sew some curves!

Oh my gosh - this is so cool!! I like all the variety - it gives it depth and movement - almost a modern art piece effect!! GO you!!!
ReplyDeleteLove those curves. The batiks are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI really like those batiks on your curves--very pretty...nice work Hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteInteresting block!
ReplyDeleteOoh - neat block, and I really like the colors you're working with.
ReplyDeleteThe new blocks look great!
ReplyDeleteIt is so interesting that you went from blocks I liked in the first picture, to blocks that are knock-it-out-of-the-park in the second picture. Fascinating, I have so much to learn about using color. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI liked the first pass with all the golds, but the pinks really punch up the yellow. It's going to be gorgeous!
