Kim asked for string blocks in melon, golden yellow, and teal. These blocks are a terrific way to use scrap strips, so I raided my scrap bin for appropriate colors: plenty of gold and teal, but not much melon-pink. I added a single melon strip cut from stash, but the rest of the blocks were made from scraps.
I sorted the scraps by length, which made it easy to grab things and go:
Yes, I did use a strip or two of the pink skulls from Geekly Chic. I hope that's okay for Kim's little girl! From the photo, it looks like she and her hubby have a sense of humor, and who can resist pink skulls?!?? Their daughter will just have to be a little bit badass. :)
Kim asked us what quilts are on our bucket lists. Amazingly, I don't really have one at the moment. I've got an X-plus nearly finished and an economy block quilt underway (which you may all be helping with next month!). There are a couple of fat quarter pulls I have assembled, so I might do something with them, but I'm looking forward to *not* having a plan... It's been a while since I didn't have a long quilty to-do list and I'm excited to live spur-of-the-moment!!
These looks great and the skulls are quite fun! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your blocks. I was worried about the melon color but think I came through ok..
