Block 17

Block 17


This one was what I call a quickie - I got all the leaves stitched in one evening in front of the TV.  Since our eyes are drawn first to areas of high contrast, I wanted this block to be muted so people would first see the more difficult blocks in the quilt when it's finished.  Besides, I like this green!  The red in the flowers is an older one I used because it has hearts in it and I thought it would be nice with the heart shapes in the applique.

  1. Looks great, now that some of you are getting to the last few blocks, it's definitely time to start looking at fabric choices a little more carefully. I'm trying to see what I can add in some purples so the grape block doesn't stand out on its' own.

  2. I see those hearts peeking out the buds!
