Emerson Gray's colours for this quarter of the 3x6 bee were blue, gray and aqua/turquoise. She asked for bright, cheery and spring-like colours. I always like working with aqua -- it's such a soothing colour.
I made this block using the tutorial here at the blog Needles and Spatula. It was very easy (no pinning required and lots of room for error.) The hardest part was deciding how to arrange the squares. I thought that this arrangment would work well with the wonkiness of the circles and was different from the usual. I loved the result so much that I now have a plan to make an entire quilt of blocks like these using cool-toned shot cottons.
I added 3 small borders to make the quilt more of the size I wanted. I was a little worried that the orange would take away from the blocks but I am still loving this quilt top...yay! Measures 63"x 63".

The pillow which won me Electra Cruiser in Riley Blake Design challange. Thought that I posted the photo long time ago... seems I didn't.
I have spring fever. There is no cure. I must simply wait for it to pass. I'm currently experiencing an itch to get my hands in soil, the need to pick out seeds to plant, and everything I work on happens to have soft colors. I'm sure I'm not the only one with spring fever this time of year, am I? :)
Drunkard's Path for curves class turned pretty garden stones (its the fever I tell ya). The block finished out at 18" sq. and I like it best on the tilt. It reminds me of a stone pattern for a garden path but if you happen to know what it is really suppose to be called please do tell. I have yet to decide how many more blocks to do. Should I do three more for a baby quilt or go ahead and make enough for a throw. Hmmmm, I'll keep you posted.
