I'm new here, too! Shoofly was one of the first blocks I made as a quilter almost 14 years ago now. I think my flies are a little BIG, but hopefully not too many points will get sewn in.I love traditional blocks and bright colours and really enjoyed the process of making these blocks. I used the third method listed and plan on using these blocks in a quilt I'm working on in my head - for next year!
Thanks for welcoming me in and please feel free to visit my blog at http://sewjoy.blogspot.com/

What terrific blocks! I love the pansy fabric paired with the bright red.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Block Lotto, Sarah. I've added your bright pansies to the list. With your blocks and Carol's, our new total-so-far this month is 169.
ReplyDeleteWe'll have three winners this month unless 10 more blocks are made and entered before noon on Friday ... then it will be a FOUR winner month.
I love your cool blocks and fabrics. I don't think the fly is too big. I made one that was definitely too big before I settled down and got it figured out. So now I have one too-big, wonky shoo fly in my orphan blocks pile.
ReplyDeleteThese are blindingly bright! Love 'em. Great job. I don't think I have anything that bright in my stash. I love how Block Lotto stretches us!
