Yesterday I finished my first block of Arcadia Avenue... except for the little problem with the colors, I'm very happy with it.
Here are the colors I received to make the blocks... the reason why the blues and greens seem out of order becomes clear when you look carefully:
The yellow and yellow-green are both listed as B colors, and the blue and indigo are both listed as A colors - the pattern of A-B-A-B... etc was broken... I will double check them when I get my next kit and make sure they are correct. Still, I'm happy with the block and in the long run, no one but me will notice this one little glitch.
Today I pieced my first block for the new Saturday Sampler I am doing at another local quilt shop. It's called the 'Nifty Nine-Patch Sampler' and here is block 1 from it:
They are doing it all in blues, but I thought I'd like it better in reds... so this is my version. I know the whole idea behind a Saturday Sampler is that they give you the fabric for free each month if you've done the previous block, making it almost a free quilt... I just didn't like the fabrics they were using.
And this is the state of my design wall for February:
They don't even look like one person's taste... they are all over the place in regards color schemes, styles, etc... I guess that says something about me, too, doesn't it?
