The Anticlimax
Totally by accident, I didn’t repeat any fabrics for the first twenty-five blocks or so of this project (well, except for the red that’s used in every block, obviously). At […]
Blocks
The Big Difficulty
I think this may be the most difficult block I’ve done yet. As I planned which fabrics to use for which blocks, I tried to match the scale of the […]
The Loner
I chose this block in part because I noticed that I’d only completed one other block in row F, and I didn’t want Block F5 to feel alone any longer. The […]

Somehow I was not expecting this block to look the way it did. It always fascinates me how different a block looks in a black and white drawing. Take the […]
