I absolutely fell in love with the Serendipity collection designed by Jessica Flick the first time I saw it. The clear bright colors give the fabrics a fresh look, and the artsy floral prints mixed with a stripe and diamond bring a bit of whimsy. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Check out the entire collection on Benartex's website using <a href="https://benartex.com/fabric-gallery/?collection_id=63191">this link</a>. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The collection is available in two colorways, and I opted for the blue, teal and lime green version. For those of you who are pink lovers or making a quilt for a girly-girl, make sure you check out the second colorway - you will be glad you did. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">As I was designing a pattern to showcase the fabrics, I really wanted to show off the diamonds and the stripes. They are simply stunning. Next, I wanted a design that was quick and easy to make, because we all need some quick and easy in our lives. Row quilts are my go-to for fast piecing. So, I started playing in the design software (EQ8) and came up with this preliminary design. I think it's a total win-win for showcasing the fabrics and being quick and easy to make! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLvd0XCjdxOq9rwopn1u5sF1Xqe37g5ZxbyJFdSqoc_uIOCRgf_Vl1OqUNrzUOkr1EIN3pv6v3QhNEhZP9jLI3UkSa494GS5EyPX2kaSSz7mHNa-zS7yN6RO2djyl94DByjYrketpaOvB_-HHlwXQsMJi2AVbj8fZrZmclOdxni-v-KlOZO6vdEQC0HvRb/s5838/QuiltImage.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5838" data-original-width="4800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLvd0XCjdxOq9rwopn1u5sF1Xqe37g5ZxbyJFdSqoc_uIOCRgf_Vl1OqUNrzUOkr1EIN3pv6v3QhNEhZP9jLI3UkSa494GS5EyPX2kaSSz7mHNa-zS7yN6RO2djyl94DByjYrketpaOvB_-HHlwXQsMJi2AVbj8fZrZmclOdxni-v-KlOZO6vdEQC0HvRb/w329-h400/QuiltImage.JPG" width="329" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I decided to use the blue background floral as an accent to separate the diamonds and the stripes as well providing pops of color in the stars and the binding. The deep, rich blue really commands your attention. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">As you can see looking at the finished quilt, I added even more accent stripes when I started piecing. Yep, that is all part of the design process. Sometimes you have to pivot and make decisions on the fly. This is why you all <i>always</i> buy extra fabric! </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAEgewaP2h_sSGz5lNRLTXj-hwlkVsYX5bLiqfVSgU0_hxUXEb16YYF87kzfAMBbDa6aF6IPUDCMteKphuG-uJkgk8Mdzo8GXSsS9l0TZNKACJ1Za0l3TfV3EzsbLDVDmMdvsHBbkSn_bMZVgona9c2tJ6VFotAtp1Jyxh8KHqZr7bzpJD4HUSIN7brmuy/s4032/20231108_141340.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAEgewaP2h_sSGz5lNRLTXj-hwlkVsYX5bLiqfVSgU0_hxUXEb16YYF87kzfAMBbDa6aF6IPUDCMteKphuG-uJkgk8Mdzo8GXSsS9l0TZNKACJ1Za0l3TfV3EzsbLDVDmMdvsHBbkSn_bMZVgona9c2tJ6VFotAtp1Jyxh8KHqZr7bzpJD4HUSIN7brmuy/w640-h360/20231108_141340.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Since Indiana is rocking all the autumnal colors right now, I needed to get creative with the photoshoot for the quilt.

I know, we all struggle with that somedays. When I'm designing patterns I tend to work in spurts and design a lot of patterns and then come back to them sometimes weeks, months or even years later with new fabric combinations. These images live in a file folder on my desktop aptly named "Designs Not Accepted" meaning that haven't been accepted for magazine or book publication. As I was looking through the images I came across this applique project that caught my eye. In my design software (EQ8), I did some tweaking and came up with this design. </span></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP92kv-TA8AnY0nF5tfZFpwjg65J_OkBxNdqGaI5MSKAGGxklaRs3fMoBngg6RUtqgh1onHIN5DVrSPwPpFcJn2vBcr-I0JmqFskpqBPXp7TQcbFqHZv6rADN10lWOG4L1XZcqxCtCkr2E3WgHNlZK4ZRagO7a_gxuaPRNFBsfmiqqQYZX2r3k82MBMw/s1200/EQ%20Image.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP92kv-TA8AnY0nF5tfZFpwjg65J_OkBxNdqGaI5MSKAGGxklaRs3fMoBngg6RUtqgh1onHIN5DVrSPwPpFcJn2vBcr-I0JmqFskpqBPXp7TQcbFqHZv6rADN10lWOG4L1XZcqxCtCkr2E3WgHNlZK4ZRagO7a_gxuaPRNFBsfmiqqQYZX2r3k82MBMw/w400-h400/EQ%20Image.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">My next step was to pull fabrics that would fit in each section of the design. </span></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVNg___bFPxGt8M78WlSaYJ3ipE2gfJAX7-yaMNN_9ITc2Ll0t43TUavQdQuMvpxW8fmXohGcvllgRDrS_THGciNXCo7N5wPSywumXaSWJBQoDmAzppU-ckalVvQiiy_JoI2pMzM80tB_yyzd3wFPxVAPgF5YVuecEHreuSqCme5FvmIkSBHef0Y51lg/s3241/20230512_155658.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2208" data-original-width="3241" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVNg___bFPxGt8M78WlSaYJ3ipE2gfJAX7-yaMNN_9ITc2Ll0t43TUavQdQuMvpxW8fmXohGcvllgRDrS_THGciNXCo7N5wPSywumXaSWJBQoDmAzppU-ckalVvQiiy_JoI2pMzM80tB_yyzd3wFPxVAPgF5YVuecEHreuSqCme5FvmIkSBHef0Y51lg/w400-h272/20230512_155658.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Since I really wanted to focus on the fabrics and the quilting with this project, I chose to use raw-edge fusible applique to make the piecing part quick and easy.

For this project I used Lite Steam-A-Seam 2 from The Warm Company. </span></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkWx515NvmKJP36dK5hccxLe4JHfbCg7meKXnmTJgVMKMTvL6mmIDBes39D9qaFniU6tAsRYtAbURWsC_mNkhyMq6GM6nPxDsKIaQbdDwLSq0vxX6VnM36jF9JZqHtq7WmBHCGg396AfVGPiPzChH7MVx3rFAhPX5teXjeHp3Fewz_FzNRL25tPPCDhg/s3910/20230512_152353%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1928" data-original-width="3910" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkWx515NvmKJP36dK5hccxLe4JHfbCg7meKXnmTJgVMKMTvL6mmIDBes39D9qaFniU6tAsRYtAbURWsC_mNkhyMq6GM6nPxDsKIaQbdDwLSq0vxX6VnM36jF9JZqHtq7WmBHCGg396AfVGPiPzChH7MVx3rFAhPX5teXjeHp3Fewz_FzNRL25tPPCDhg/w400-h198/20230512_152353%20(1).jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Essentially this project is a whole cloth applique quilt since there is no piecing of the background fabric. How about that for quick and easy? I started with a 42" x 42" piece of Benartex Color Weave in Light Gray which compliments perfectly with the Porch Swing collection. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">To get my orientation lines for the applique, I folded the fabric square in quarters and then on the diagonal and pressed all the fold lines. And yes, real life is happening here - my ironing board cover is looking pretty dingy! </span></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMtn4VW0XQOyVxrBb5e2-94ybmVCSytASIEuNVQslVUprQ9PGzLPf9JdUQL2tdjT3hdn-9Cb968yriFp61CYfTVR9U3D5DEQ4o8aAu4gzgAohcEp1S33hFo8icSuNw56mWh3Hf4Jlu7a0c4somU_IGNmJydRwUhIa1o7vfyMynPcuPAlbl81n2p6gKBw/s1939/20230514_093009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1938" data-original-width="1939" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMtn4VW0XQOyVxrBb5e2-94ybmVCSytASIEuNVQslVUprQ9PGzLPf9JdUQL2tdjT3hdn-9Cb968yriFp61CYfTVR9U3D5DEQ4o8aAu4gzgAohcEp1S33hFo8icSuNw56mWh3Hf4Jlu7a0c4somU_IGNmJydRwUhIa1o7vfyMynPcuPAlbl81n2p6gKBw/w400-h400/20230514_093009.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I then positioned all applique shapes in the appropriate places using my printed motif as a guide.

For this project I skipped the step of securing the appliques with a machine blanket stitch or zig zag satin stitch. Instead I am using the longarm to stitch close to the edge of each shape while quilting. Talk about quick and easy! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMJOHKvGVory4jaK_fQWWKsnVDwLALgrdP_cKIk18KMk9SjukgPc2TxU29G8RC6NKTEkQYK0LYsYjAas9LgI8YICg1aLPGUERD5xMvjVA1Dyht4y8Ew2rI-gjqRpxKW5HldJNKGcocVzukDVx46VALFtCuWB8QwNuSiEBXOLWfgSHertqdT_lsot1NSg/s4032/20230514_123815.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2268" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMJOHKvGVory4jaK_fQWWKsnVDwLALgrdP_cKIk18KMk9SjukgPc2TxU29G8RC6NKTEkQYK0LYsYjAas9LgI8YICg1aLPGUERD5xMvjVA1Dyht4y8Ew2rI-gjqRpxKW5HldJNKGcocVzukDVx46VALFtCuWB8QwNuSiEBXOLWfgSHertqdT_lsot1NSg/w360-h640/20230514_123815.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I'm using a varigated thread in similiar colors to the collection and stitching less than 1/8" from the edge of each shape. I'm not striving for absolutely perfect stitch placement, rather I'm looking for an organic, natural appearance. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Next is the background fill ... something that truly makes my heart happy. I stitched a mix of swirls, echos and wavy lines to create a lot of movement all over the piece. The stitching is less than 1/2" apart so it lies very flat. To help with the flat look I used Warm 80/20 batting from The Warm Company. This batting gives perfect stitch definition without being bulky. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZuodUMwJL2jzFy9RPO80eMKE3xfWGk-l7SmcuE85dKGKUF2tZS4FYHDkY4xQKzBByxSW3BNFA5b_g6nNMAh5d63ezYXHMa_OamjbdX10oIM4txclBRx-tPUA1K-JPc5OxM5QjjKSA9auFPGGWaF87M_nro52bGZ_aAex_kFscmmQs-HIkRjpcOMDqzg/s4032/20230514_162801.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZuodUMwJL2jzFy9RPO80eMKE3xfWGk-l7SmcuE85dKGKUF2tZS4FYHDkY4xQKzBByxSW3BNFA5b_g6nNMAh5d63ezYXHMa_OamjbdX10oIM4txclBRx-tPUA1K-JPc5OxM5QjjKSA9auFPGGWaF87M_nro52bGZ_aAex_kFscmmQs-HIkRjpcOMDqzg/w400-h225/20230514_162801.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">As I quilted around the appliques I adjusted the size of the quilting motifs to fit and balance with the shapes.

If you missed it, <a href="http://masterpiecequilting.blogspot.com/2022/05/arkansas-snowflake-block-remix_9.html" style="color: #1faa72; text-decoration-line: none;">here is the link</a>. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">However those elongated star blades .... they just weren't doing anything for me so I knew I needed to re-mix them. </span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Lately, I've been in a design kick about rectangle blocks. They aren't any more difficult to make than square blocks and they add a fun design element to the quilt. So my first step was to resize the block into a rectangle.

I wanted to keep as much symmetry as possible in the center section, so I made them smaller and really liked that option.

Maybe it's because I haven't done the challenge for a few month but it took a bit of thinking and playing to come up with some variations that I liked. And this is a good thing - because looking outside the box is where all the really cool ideas live :) </span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">As I thought about the possibilities for this block, I wanted to keep the center star as the focal point so I started playing with it first. I experimented with elongating the star and found a happy medium between a pudgy diamond and a too skinny diamond with this version. Don't ask how I'm piecing those wedges, I honestly don't have that part figured out yet! I'm just playing with design ideas :) </span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 13.2px;"> </span></p><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I also adjusted the proportions of the block. It's still essentially a nine patch but the corners are larger than the other pieces. At first I didn't like it but now it's starting to grow on me! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWK3PX5RPBK9lBzulTwh9j7lFaR68-ML8qfSuONPqkPA4qTP6I_8mNnMVfsTuMoSZeq97wmysyd_EQjciC6xAQ7F2SkX23IKLycbnE0n4PHeT5wj0vpyJQ9seSUJzIPk1h7J5YoDHk8D7Pauf2y5q7Thl5EwbBNOMkry2mbnKCMmM43am9xlemD5D1TQ/s1080/Oct-Peek%231.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWK3PX5RPBK9lBzulTwh9j7lFaR68-ML8qfSuONPqkPA4qTP6I_8mNnMVfsTuMoSZeq97wmysyd_EQjciC6xAQ7F2SkX23IKLycbnE0n4PHeT5wj0vpyJQ9seSUJzIPk1h7J5YoDHk8D7Pauf2y5q7Thl5EwbBNOMkry2mbnKCMmM43am9xlemD5D1TQ/w400-h400/Oct-Peek%231.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626;">I truly love the opportunity to play and experiment with different blocks as part of the REMIX challenge.

If you missed it, <a href="http://masterpiecequilting.blogspot.com/2022/05/arkansas-snowflake-block-remix_9.html">here is the link</a>. </span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">As I thought about what to try next, I thought I would play with some curves. I added some orange-peel-esque arcs to the outer corners of the block and a simple applique dot in the center. Ya know, just in case the center point doesn't turn out perfect, it can be covered up :) </span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">When I imaged that into the four-block layout, it was just too much! So back to the drawing board - literally and figuratively. I decided to pull in the "points" of the snowflake so it would be so dominate and give a bit more background to show. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><br /></p><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIYP2FLHtMuCnXKeZn-ErNnwI9r0IszCYAMAPGsI5DEe8Pv0YhLUk4edSFRMUNzvRxY2Ec7ff0j6pz1luAyjSuzyJz9aWVeQO5OtNWlmGTYwBlafQgCkyS6q0RKxlv0smU2UYuGzw65PR7ltrltkJ7X_AylyRuiyDQ_ORG4ZmHUY03lksqB8TLCs9qZQ/s1200/SneakPk2-Block.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIYP2FLHtMuCnXKeZn-ErNnwI9r0IszCYAMAPGsI5DEe8Pv0YhLUk4edSFRMUNzvRxY2Ec7ff0j6pz1luAyjSuzyJz9aWVeQO5OtNWlmGTYwBlafQgCkyS6q0RKxlv0smU2UYuGzw65PR7ltrltkJ7X_AylyRuiyDQ_ORG4ZmHUY03lksqB8TLCs9qZQ/s320/SneakPk2-Block.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">So this is where the fun begins! As I'm designing, I always like to layout the block into a quilt-like arrangement just to see what secondary patterns emerge. Sometimes the secondary patterns will then drive the direction the block design is going. What do you think? Is it too much? I'm concerned that the arcs have become the focal point. I played with the color a bit and I'm still not totally smitten with it. Maybe a border would help. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 13.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBMxKbVz8L_Y8RUNg9NYuCfzInENOtZiXVvjxcF0gwEmJzw3Vo0p4pnZ9t3lShPF_-Qciawa71IgJMYflly2CcyMpusbnUkZuewmOaP0xPU6A4Zgce-lWoztpmJbkYBaR8ctDm8rxnKfXisf1XLG_0EVLKeS6n-juGX3GP5nlzMlCGSjvmUQPLwXpyCw/s2400/SneakPeek2-4Block.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2400" data-original-width="2400" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBMxKbVz8L_Y8RUNg9NYuCfzInENOtZiXVvjxcF0gwEmJzw3Vo0p4pnZ9t3lShPF_-Qciawa71IgJMYflly2CcyMpusbnUkZuewmOaP0xPU6A4Zgce-lWoztpmJbkYBaR8ctDm8rxnKfXisf1XLG_0EVLKeS6n-juGX3GP5nlzMlCGSjvmUQPLwXpyCw/w400-h400/SneakPeek2-4Block.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">And yes, even though it is May, I'm already starting to think fall ... because it will probably take me all summer to get some fall quilts made ... so I grabbed a bundle of fall / autumn fat quarters for this month's fabric pull. </span></p><p style="background-color: white;"></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If your fall fabric stash is looking a bit low, I can help you out.

I’m dedicating my version of the block to my Grandmother, Lena Lamle Scott, as she is the person who taught me to quilt when I was a young child and her heavenly birthday is coming up on May 16<sup>th</sup>! Grandma always expected her birthday to be celebrated and I can't think of a better way to remember and recognize her than with this block dedication. </span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Grandma was an avid quilter and I didn’t realize how good she was until after she passed and I was having some of her quilts appraised and the quality of her hand quilting was noted by each appraiser.

I know that is not a technical term but it just needed more pizzazz, it needed to be the focal point of the block. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">After adding the straight lines and more color to the center, the block just didn't seem balanced so I added a similiar triangle wedge to each corner. I really like this aspect. It extends the eye to the center of the block which was my goal from the beginning. Don't ask how I'm piecing those triangle wedges, I honestly don't have that part figured out yet!

Some months I have a strong vision of how I want to re-imagine a block. This block was a work in progress in each week as I try different options. Trust me, there were a lot of options that I vetoed and didn't share with you. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9RHNSuGJAbpsVCPgfznJzCuwOpGTiCbWurI5NDOd2BlxjCURp-xLQfHeraGBsnvFWSPubu2uZ6Sgp_zwvXPWjzZ1DTzCWcotTWSr0454BHYwibWxMZbHQb2wITBvu8qrqFqLa1CfjVz8zgl9L6yheWhJ6C9adOuSiUoh921BS7wxwaeZhEppVVQUnfw/s1200/Reveal.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9RHNSuGJAbpsVCPgfznJzCuwOpGTiCbWurI5NDOd2BlxjCURp-xLQfHeraGBsnvFWSPubu2uZ6Sgp_zwvXPWjzZ1DTzCWcotTWSr0454BHYwibWxMZbHQb2wITBvu8qrqFqLa1CfjVz8zgl9L6yheWhJ6C9adOuSiUoh921BS7wxwaeZhEppVVQUnfw/w400-h400/Reveal.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">So I ended up arranging the blocks into a 3 x 3 horizontal layout and used the original hour glass block plus the blocks I designed for Sneak Peek #1 and Sneak Peek #2. I love the secondary patterns that emerged! </span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The next step was adjusting the colors. I stayed true to the 6 fat quarter bundle I selected for my inital fabric pull and resisted the temptation to put some white in there. The color placement really enhanced the secondary patterns. </span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In case you didn't see it, here are the fabrics I pulled for this month's block. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I'm going super springy with my fabric pull for this month and am using a 6 fat quarter bundle of pastel Kona Solids from Robert Kauffman. This exact bundle is available in my Etsy shop. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/805846115" style="color: #1faa72; text-decoration-line: none;">Yes, send a bundle to me! </a></span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1718" data-original-width="1718" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg50kgC_d0F2DrQtCge-wA71viTJ4OvMuz1rX6KYSo4PHp3qNwXYTbSoZSi6QgcFtSjbk93Nvm8Fe8WdzPk6orYumxcUniHcDTPNJheRVv2R5ex8EM-OVw3ukRZic-2SN0RntmEGfMgel8qvTorIt8y593962KRbncSn8Z1v88_HSwYsGtNlZ80fc0mPA/w400-h400/6Pack-FemSolid-Spread.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(236, 236, 236); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="400" /></div><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: verdana;">I truly love the opportunity to play and experiment with different blocks as part of the REMIX challenge.

If you missed last week's post, here is<a href="http://masterpiecequilting.blogspot.com/2022/04/hour-glass-block-sneak-peek-1-block.html"> a link</a> to it. And guess what? I still don't really have a vision!

This week I'm playing with curves! </span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I added curves on all four corners of the hourglass block. It's kinda a nod to a Drunkard's path but with a hour glass in the middle. The curves could be pieced or they could be appliqued. To be honest, I'd rather use a raw-edge fusible applique to get the look instead of curved piecing. </span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Again I'm popping the block into a quilt-like arrangement just to see what secondary patterns emerge. Sometimes the secondary patterns will then drive the direction the block design is going. </span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is kinda interesting. When the curved sections come together in the center, they actually form another hour glass ... hmmm! That could be fun to play with :) </span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8I7BfjJVZ3mtd8qz2ObzNJMXmnfBvAP62pUs3tggb5KvnL2iBDztWhJzKbBaymA4298cQfp5yPbo3harbFKKp5nILwNAauiOjDSLP5NyybpK3WNH3eA5FqJtzFpAZ6Xk3KleK8qInXsqSUpMqK0ZcyFI9-DnAmzjQi1eF4i1VC4cGjhf5zNZtKGc7kA/s1200/ReMix%232.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8I7BfjJVZ3mtd8qz2ObzNJMXmnfBvAP62pUs3tggb5KvnL2iBDztWhJzKbBaymA4298cQfp5yPbo3harbFKKp5nILwNAauiOjDSLP5NyybpK3WNH3eA5FqJtzFpAZ6Xk3KleK8qInXsqSUpMqK0ZcyFI9-DnAmzjQi1eF4i1VC4cGjhf5zNZtKGc7kA/s320/ReMix%232.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: verdana;">I truly love the opportunity to play and experiment with different blocks as part of the REMIX challenge.

So I just starting playing and allow the vision to develop on its own. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr0RDrbWnc69FKhtfBGSulEbCTV0R6YG8F8XLAc_FzDUWADcZplFTO6bMyB9KLc_25OeFK6TkFTp4SDVo1DAJ8tLoeH6H4Plu8V7yyUL28ZWf4p4SAujQfmoWSH0jRpbFw04WqhRewq8Dq9taS_oIT30LLbSK4Hux9BPX_9nC3Spp4VCqSFPlhuHrTtw/s2400/Block%231.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2400" data-original-width="2400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr0RDrbWnc69FKhtfBGSulEbCTV0R6YG8F8XLAc_FzDUWADcZplFTO6bMyB9KLc_25OeFK6TkFTp4SDVo1DAJ8tLoeH6H4Plu8V7yyUL28ZWf4p4SAujQfmoWSH0jRpbFw04WqhRewq8Dq9taS_oIT30LLbSK4Hux9BPX_9nC3Spp4VCqSFPlhuHrTtw/s320/Block%231.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I began by adding lines on two opposite Quarter Square Triangle (QST) sections. I have the width of the lines alternated between narrow and wide just to give a bit of visual interest. The lines could be piecing lines or they could represent the use of striped fabric - how fun would that be? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">As I'm designing, I always like to layout the block into a quilt-like arrangement just to see what secondary patterns emerge. Sometimes the secondary patterns will then drive the direction the block design is going. While I wasn't exactly loving the block layout I do like the secondary patterns. We have almost lost the hourglass look and now a large pinwheel is emerging in the center based on color placement. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZtgT9eHW_AdP95qVbZ_DbBhAsTQSW9d4SkyidM09nB2snZl9aJ9UaqEib6oW3EyhbIL8G-1Sne_DM2adzEutkqrXhxHkLLIYc9Ds0kje8imHVlmYN8LAwXl0Zkjx-2gu9kL_7XZe6-LfiaenfCHGraKUCDn6LE7v4cGCwarKnyRoO6y62sScb_y_cXQ/s4800/ReMix%231.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4800" data-original-width="4800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZtgT9eHW_AdP95qVbZ_DbBhAsTQSW9d4SkyidM09nB2snZl9aJ9UaqEib6oW3EyhbIL8G-1Sne_DM2adzEutkqrXhxHkLLIYc9Ds0kje8imHVlmYN8LAwXl0Zkjx-2gu9kL_7XZe6-LfiaenfCHGraKUCDn6LE7v4cGCwarKnyRoO6y62sScb_y_cXQ/s320/ReMix%231.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: verdana;">I truly love the opportunity to play and experiment with different blocks as part of the REMIX challenge.
