Block Number 3

I finally settled on a fabric for the vase. This does still look a little busy in the picture but goes well with my other 2 blocks. I like busy and scrappy!


This was my orignal fabric choice for the vase but it felt just a little too "light".


This was my second choice because I really really like this fabric! Again it did not feel balanced and needed a little grounding.
Lesson learned...you can always use a favorite fabric somewhere else but go with that which makes the block "work"! Now to the stitching.

    Kelly, I love them all. I kind of like the last one too. You have such great eye for textures and colors! I am so tempted to go with your LOOK when I start my quilt.

    I think you made the perfect choice for the vase. It anchors the piece & is a great container for all those layered flowers.

    There are other blocks with vases so not to worry, you will have a place for your fabulous prints. Love your fresh take on this project, bright and cherry!

    I like the one you chose, too. I even like all five layers in the central flower!

    I love them all. It's a pity you couldn't include them all. Beautiful block.

    I like your final choice, I think it balances your block perfectly.

    I also love your fabric combinations, I wish I could be brave enough to do what you are so expertly able to do.

    Auditioning the fabrics really shows the different looks. I like the one you chose in the end.
