So, we are now into week 3 of this quilt along - I've never done one before and again this is a "Modern" style project, which I have never done before as well.
Last week's block was to challenge folks to find a vintage quilt block and adapt it to our modern colors. I found 2 that I enjoyed making and feel they both are now "perfectly" modern for this quilt top:
First for my Turquoise/Lime layout out I picked a traditional Ohio Star with a square in a square center:
Now for Week 3 - this week's. I followed along and here are my finished blocks:
Turquoise/Lime:
Purple/Lime:
These were quick and easy, I'm a bit nervous about what is coming up though.
Your blocks look great in those colors. Way to go, Toni.
ReplyDeleteAll of your blocks are wonderful! I especially like your Ohio Star.
ReplyDeleteI love the different variations you have shown here, both are just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I love the optical illusion effect on the 16 patches -- the effect of the purple lime diagonal strip is very different from the turquoise lime one.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look wonderful! I especially love the "traditional" ones you chose. This is going to be a cool quilt!
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks. I love that two color hexagon block. I think that 36 patch would make a great quilt with just that one block repeated.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun combination of modern and traditional. Your blocks look stunning together.
