8 of 16 Snail's Trail blocks.........................


All of the blocks have been pressed now and this is one of each fabric combination.  There are 10 more combinations of 2 fabrics left to cut and sew.







This is the previously posted photo of all 18 combinations.  I didn't have much energy yesterday so I didn't get any more pressed to prepare for cutting.  I plan on cutting 4 more pairs today.





This collage shows the previous Snail's Trail quilts that I have made.  The one on the left was made in 2017 and I experimented with alternate plain blocks in 2 different fabrics.  The one in the center was made in 2019 and is also brown fabrics but paired with mostly beiges instead of gold and rust like I have in the newest project.  The one on the right was made in 2023 and is proof that this isn't just a masculine quilt block but could be made in any type of fabric.  These were cut with the 12" GO die.  I also have the 8" die but haven't used it yet.

Snails Trail really is a distinctive block and has so much motion. I’ve liked it when used for a border as well. I think the browns with golds is going to my favorite of the group 😄

Love the richness of the newest iteration.
