I have been working on Katja Marek's Blocks on the Go for Quilts on the Grow! I am really enjoying these. In fact I am enjoying them so much that I am doing a set in Reproduction fabrics as well. They will not have the outer border and batting. I will stitch them together once all the blocks have been made. I will play with the color combos for the best layout.
I am enjoying picking out two very different kinds of fabrics. I am using Kaffes in the modern one and picking out color combinations which I like for the Reproduction ones. No particular color scheme going. I want it to be scrappy and fun.
These blocks are so lovely and bright.
More reproductions. I love the little bees in the diamonds and well as the dapper soldiers in the light diamond of the top block. I am actually all caught up and waiting for April's clues to arrive. Such a lovely sew along. Thank you Katja!
Wow! All kinds of variations. It's fun to work with two completely different styles at one time. Love what you've come up with so far.
ReplyDeleteThey are all so beautiful. Great work Chantal. I don't know which I prefer as they are both wonderful! ;^)
ReplyDeletebeautiful!! I'm still chugging away on her original 52 blocks for my quilt....
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the Hexis, they will make a wonderful quilt won't they!
ReplyDeleteWell, I think you've shown me enough of these gorgeous blocks to make me want to start. I really like both sets, and it would be hard to choose.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to see the wide variations between Kaffee and repro fabrics. What would the ppl from 'back then' think of all our fabrics choices now?!
