Hexagons and Value Proposition Quilt!

I have been working on my Value Proposition Quilt blocks!  Karen at faeriesandfibres.blogspot.com is hosting this wonderful quilt along.  Besides having hexie fun, it is a great lesson in value.  We are talking color value.  Get it right and it makes such a difference to your quilt.  You can choose a color e.g. pink.  Within the pink color you have light pink all the way through dark pink.  This is value.  In Karen's QAL you need a light fabric, usually two medium tone fabrics (one lighter and one darker but still fitting into the mid tones) and a dark fabric.  Here is my first block.  My light fabric is black on white.  My mid tones are the greens and the dark fabric is a white on black.

In block two I have added the first round of a triple pathway.  Isn't this a lovely design - spokes come to mind.

Here is my third block all done.  Tomorrow Karen is going to post a partial block because the quilt requires some of those along the edges.  Otherwise she posts a new block every two weeks.  Her tutorials are very detailed.  You will get the pattern description along with alternate ideas.  She is wonderful with all her suggestions.  Go check it out - It's fun, I promise.
