When Connie at Freemotion by the River announced a new monthly challenge this year,
I sat up a bit straighter and took note!
The color "teal" is to be used and she even offered a block tutorial if needed.
I had recently bought a PDF version of
Knowing this pattern used 12 big blocks, I figured this challenge would be perfect!
12 color prompts from Connie and 12 blocks will get me a complete quilt top!
It will also nudge me just enough to write up a blog post every month!
Win/Win
I really don't have a lot of teal fabrics in my stash.
Turquoise is pretty close if you cross your eyes, dim the lights and
maybe stick out your tongue.
I used what I had.
3/4 of the 16" block is complete.
The final quadrant is sewn and all 4 are stitched together.
Looking forward to February's color!

Beautiful! What a neat block and I'm glad you will be joining me in my color challenge.
ReplyDeleteA Lovely Hearts Block! You sound like me... maybe I will join, too, just to push myself to write a blog once a month.
ReplyDeleteThat pattern is perfect for your color challenge! And the placement of the lights, mediums and darks will bring your colorful quilt all together at the end. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss. It's nine years old! Be sure to enter the giveaway everyone!
ReplyDeleteReally like the heart design you chose. You took a heart design in a different direction with the color teal. Imagination turns out great designs.
ReplyDeleteThat looks beautiful! Those colors are wonderful.
