8 blocks are sewn and I should complete the last 4 tonight. Then I'll show some different layouts. I have made this quilt before with Stonehenge fabric. Here is where I talk about the pattern. It was also in QUILT magazine a few years ago and called "Squares in the Air". Here is the finished Stonehenge quilt.
I prefer this layout to the Stonehenge one, with the blocks turned around. The light greens and orange also give it a pop. Any signs of your snow melting yet?
Those are some good looking blocks! I really like the background fabric you are using. The poor mailman is going to have a time of it trying to get the mail delivered at my cul-da-sac with it being unplowed and the snow being a foot deep.
The blocks look great! The background fabric is really good with these colors—adds nice depth and softness as well as blending nicely when sewn to itself. I bought a lot of fabric for a Christmas quilt last month so I was not going to get this new bundle of Marcia Derse—though it is still in my shopping cart. Hard to resist when I see what nice things you do with it!
I don't have a personal favorite, I like them both ! And know your new one will finish as lovely as your 2016. Tailored precision always makes me smile.

This is a very graphic quilt. I still really, really like the zigzag quilt on the Stonehenge quilt page.
ReplyDeleteI like this color combination more than the Stonehenge version - perhaps it is the time of year and because I'm longing to see greens again.
ReplyDeleteStonehenge is beautiful, but I like this setting better. It's so pretty in these fabrics.
