I love seeing how many varieties quilters can come up with for the same pattern. Some of the members of our guild are using more primitive/civil war style fabrics, there are a couple of really girly floral varieties, some modern variations, and even a Christmas version. I can't wait to watch these quilts evolve, and since we're all sharing them to the Facebook page it's easy to look back and see what everyone else is doing.
The first block for this month is a churn dash variation. I used my other Tula Pink focal fabric. Unfortunately my block wasn't perfectly square and without thinking I trimmed it to it's finished size. I don't have enough fabric to redo it, but the ladies in our group reminded me that the blocks have sashing so I'll be able to save it when it comes to assembling the quilt.
The bonus block is the bow tie and a row of HSTs. I was so excited when I had scraps of blue and grey fabrics with the same texture for my main and background fabrics. (It's hard to see, but the blue background fabric has the same pattern as the grey background.) I know that I want to include solids in my quilt and the HSTs felt like a good place for me to show some solid love.
