I finally figured out what I wanted to do for the QuiltCon Block Challenge. I bounced for a few different ideas and finally it came to me. Here it is.
Does it look familiar? Yes, it's my logo! I turned it upright because the block had to be 12 1/2in height x whatever width. I guess I could have made it bigger if I would have turned it on it's side, but I didn't even think of that until just now..haha. Oh well.
This block was a challenge to make for sure. There was a lot of guess work. The angles are not the standard angles on a quilting ruler. And I did my fare share of ripping out!
This challenge is not for prizes. Just a little recognition I guess. I'm getting ready to link up to Flickr, then send it in the mail tomorrow.
Oh, one more thing. I totally changed the background. Here is my first one.
I hope I made the right choice. Personally, I like it much better. Wish me luck;)
I love how the block turned out, so cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks MC!
DeleteI have to say, I really like the white border with the pop of turquoise. Beautiful! And good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I nixed the grey and I really like the white
DeleteThat looks very complicated. I like the white border better too, gives it this clean, crisp finish. Good luck in the challenge
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't easy, that's for sure! Thanks, Karin :)
DeleteTurned out beautifully and the piecing is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I really like how it turned out!
DeleteGood luck Danielle!
ReplyDeleteYour block looks awesome!
Awe thank you!
DeleteThanks Malini. I hope it makes it in the Quiltcon quilt. But if it doesn't it will go in a charity quilt which is just as awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteum, WOW! If that doesn't make it into the quilt, then E.H. is crazy! I LOVE it and I do like the choice of the white sashing. It feels so much fresher. The charcoal was a little overwhelming with all those bright colors.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, well thank you! I'm really glad I went with the white too;)
DeleteWow - that is great! I love the design.
ReplyDeletethank you! Glad you like it!
DeleteWow - that looks very tricky to make! It's lovely.
