Quilt Around the World II -- Julianne
Julianne is making a black and white Paris quilt for her daughter and requested only a small pop of blue. I saw this block a while back made by Lee of Freshly Pieced. It is block #469 from Quiltmakers 100 Blocks Blog Tour. The original block was 12" finished and Julianne had requested 14" blocks so out came the graph paper so that I could resize the block. I ran into a little trouble with the black "V" shapes as originally they were flying geese which did not translate to the new size. (Although I'm sure that someone else could figure it out, I just could not mathmatically get it to work.) After mulling things over, I decided to create a paper piece template to use for that section and must admit to being surprised when everything worked! I am pleased with the block, but I did consider ripping out the large white center squares and replacing them with black ones for more contrast, but in the end decided that I did not want to risk distorting the fabric.
