The pattern calls for four different center fabrics and four others for the second row. I kept picking out fabrics and then realizing I only had three that would work for one row or the other. It was very frustrating since I wanted this to be a no-trip-to-the-fabric-store project and in the end I went with two for each row. I quite like how it turned out.
I plan to quilt this using my Fine Line Quilter's Rulers that I ordered after reading a review by Marelize of Stitch by Stitch. So far I've only tried my rulers out on a bit of scrap fabric, so I'm excited to give them a real test.

It is lovely Leanne, I think you got your fabric choices just right. The ruler sounds like fun too :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a really fun block to put together. I really like all of your green choices.
ReplyDeleteCool version. It's like ombre effect. Good luck with the quilting part!
ReplyDeleteLove your take on this pattern.
ReplyDeleteSo striking! Beautiful job! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great design! Love the greens. Can't wait to hear about your experiences with those rulers. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteThe quilter rulers had even more possibilities. Neat! I like your square, good choice on contrast, spring time colors and pattern.
ReplyDeleteIt is fun and time consuming to pick the fabrics. I find that it feels especially so because there are so few of them. Your choices are lovely and I hope you will show it off when it is all done. I need those rulers too, they look great.
