Today is October 31. Happy Halloween!! I can't believe just how fast the year has flown by. It will be winter and snowing before we know it.
A few years ago, I had knee surgery. I had fallen in love with the Vintage Farm Girl quilt and I thought it was a good project to work on while I was recovering. Working on a 6 inch x 6 inch block seemed easy enough.
Which block should I start with, this second time? The first block that jumped out at me was the Scrappy Strawberry block.
The funny thing is that I really don't know why. I'm not a pink person, but I do like the small 1 inch blocks in it.
When I originally started this quilt, I purchased several of Lori Holt's fabric lines. I tried to match the fabrics that I saw in the quilt. I had about 9 pinks and 9 greens.
Once I started piecing, I started seeing the shades of pink that just didn't seem to jive next to each other, in my opinion. I moved some of the pieces around.
And then, I realized that it really didn't make much of a difference! I'm happy with how my block turned out.
I'm adding two additional blocks that I had finished prior to today - the Farmhouse block and the Pinwheels block.
Until next time,
