Dutchman's Puzzle Block Challenge - Sneak Peek #1

This week I'm sharing Sneak Peek #1 of the Dutchman's Puzzle Block Re-Imagined Challenge.  

I am playing with color placement.  Yes, each of those are identical blocks, just the color placement is different.  Isn't it amazing how changing up the colors can create totally different looks.  Some of the blocks have movement, each have different focal points and interchanging the lights and darks really makes a difference! 

If you remember from last week's Fabric Pull post (click here in case you missed it), I shared that I'm using a scrappy mix of autumnal stash fabrics.  If your stash is needing a boost, just out the fat quarter bundles in my Etsy shop.  This 6 pack bundle is a best seller. 

Well, it is a block re-imagined challenge - so everything is fair game - and this is all part of the design process.  Normally this is a part of the process that most people don't see, so it is fun to be able to share it with you.  

Each Monday in October, the participating designers are sharing about the challenge on their Instagram feeds.  Some of us are adding other social media too.   If you don't already follow me on Instagram, I'm @masterpiecequilting 

Here is the list of Instagram handles of the participating designers.  Each of us are sharing our sneak peeks on Monday October 11th.
