Here are the blocks I did for Nannette (aka Nanotchka). For Blocks of a Feather, we do two blocks but have two months to work on them. This time I really dragged my feet because she sent awesome fabric (the Oz line from Momo) and said to do "our specialty."
I didn't really know what my specialty was, but in the end settled on a modern abstract 9 patch and a block with circles since I love them so much.
I'm curious... Is there something that comes to your mind that would be my specialty? Do you have something that might be called your specialty?
I love the tiny gingham in these blocks. Gotta get some to add to my stash. How about describing your style as "organic"? I say that because you do modern blocks, but they aren't austere. There is a cheerfulness and warmth to them if that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteI love anything with dots. And your circle is amazing! Circles frighten me. Oh, and applique. Both of those are definitely NOT my specialty!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look great! I love the new take on 9 patch. I don't think I really have a speciality block, either. However, I do get into a nice little sewing zone when making wonky log cabins. I know they are really that special, but I like them. And I agree with Anne, I think your quilt blocks are definitely organic! I love popping by to see what you've been working on. =]
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks!! wow! I especially like that 9 patch.
ReplyDeletebeautiful blocks. Wow...that's a hard task...finding a specialty. I think that my specialty is more the way that I combine fabrics than the blocks that I make with them. so that would have been a tough task. What an interesting challenge.
ReplyDeleteThe circle one is very cute! I don't think I have a specialty but I do enjoy makeing blocks with small pieces, lol.
ReplyDeleteWhere did June go? I asked the same thing the other day...June was such a blur to me! I'm hoping that the rest of July and all of August will be more productive. I love the blocks you made!!!

I like that circle block. I actually (before visiting your blog today) was thinking of making some circle string blocks. Great minds think alike! Oh and congrats for winning a jelly roll over at Miss Print! I'm so jealous
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to June? What happened to July??? Beautiful blocks. I love the circle one! I really don't think I have a block "style." In fact, I kind of think I try not to. I tend to try and push myself to try new techniques and designs. I think that may be why I enjoy the Dear Jane quilt so much-- never the same block twice! :)
