Stitch Tease Round 2

by | 13.05.2013 | Uncategorized | 22 comments

Well after recovering from the excitement of getting our quilt tops in from round 1 of Stitch Tease, we are starting up again for another year.  This time, there are 12 of us, and we’re going to be operating like a regular bee (I know you’ll miss those pixellated blocks terribly ;o) ).  For the first month of this round, Queen Bee Di asked for 2-12 1/2″ unfinished blocks using shades of aqua, teal and turquoise with white to help her make a quilt like this one from Ashley at Film In The Fridge:

Her specifics were thus:

I want only aqua, teal and turquoise fabrics, both prints and solids.
Please use white in each block.
I only want the prints to be tone on tone or on a white background.
Do not introduce any other colors in the prints.
If you have it, you can put a piece of Essex Yarn Dyed Linen Flax in one block.
I DO NOT want wonky.
I will add the mustard to my blocks as I arrange the layout.

Here’s what I came up with – the wonkiness is my inability to apply magic tape in a straight line, honest ;o)

    Great, I do love those colours. Was somewhat confused when I saw the photo appear in bloglovin as I was sure it was a Film in Fridge quilt – had to double-check it was a post from you! Juliex

    Perfect blocks. No wonky on improv like that is tricky, well done!

    The only thing better would be if I would have thought of it on my own instead of trying to imitate Ashley's quilt.

    Yours are lovely, I finally pulled a few fabrics for this last night, and might even get round to making them today, maybe. :o)

    Two wonderfully great blocks with very little if any wonkiness!
