More Sampler Blocks

Chinese LanternsTilted Squares


I finished two more blocks for my ongoing sampler charity project. As I make these blocks, I realize that I am in danger of loving this project too much. That will make it very difficult to give it away. Of course, by posting about it I'm creating some accountability for myself.

I really love the way the black and red one came out. The fabrics really work together. I'm less impressed with the other block. The pale yellow just doesn't work the way I wanted it too. It would have worked better with a light green, but I didn't have any in the right shade. Part of me says I shouldn't care so much, but I do.

I created a set in Flickr where I am posting my sampler blocks as I make them. It's another way of motivating myself and a handy way of arranging the blocks to see how they look in different settings. It's already making me want to make more.

I love the red with the black & white. My quilt guild's challenge quilt for next February requires the use of black and white fabrics with only one additional solid color. I've been noodling over ideas, your block gives me some needed inspiration!
