I'm a newbie and was really excited to come across this blog. I love liberated quilts and tend to be timid about them, but have been inspired by the beautiful blocks you ladies posted. My grandmother (an early liberated quilter) made a quilt with me when I was ten and I've been quilting ever since. I love purples, bright colors and bold prints, so this month's challenge called to me. "Liberating" the blocks in pairs was more challenging than I expected because I kept forgetting which way the ruler should go from one block to the next! I made five pairs and then a "tie-on" with some of the scraps (from the Winter
Quilts & More). There's a big bead show in NYC this weekend, so I think I'm celebrating embellishments in honor of National Quilting Day.

Welcome to the Block Lotto, Kim. I'm glad you found us.
ReplyDeleteI love the diversity of black & whites in your blocks and the tie-on you made from the scraps is adorable.
