@spontaneousthreads chose Little Gems: "small studies of happy improv (45 to be exact::: each 2.5” square:: [which] adds up to just under 12.5” x 24.5”). Background a mix of black/very dark grays and off white/white. Pops of color as the focal point of each block. Color to background percentage no more than 30ish % but can be as little as 5%."
How perfect was this for my own personal 50 Days of Scraps?? My modus operandi was to make several blocks, then trim them to size and see what I could make with the trimmings. I came up with some of my favorite blocks that way.
AND though I counted these little guys over and over as I created, I somehow ended up with a couple of extra blocks, which is fine because one or two might be slightly over Stephanie's requested maximum of 30% color. It was hard to judge!
Anyway, these were great fun, and I was actually kind of sad to be done. But no worries, moving right along to a new scrap project!
The contrast and colors in these blocks are great! Were you channeling Mondrian when you created them?
ReplyDeleteI very much enjoyed seeing you add to these fun blocks each day. I'm curious to see Stephanie's plan in putting them all together.
ReplyDeletethese are amazing and I can't wait to see the quilt she comes up with!
ReplyDeleteYet another fun bee theme! xo
ReplyDeleteThese really look like “little gems”! I especially like that royal blue colour. This will certainly be an interesting finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are wonderful, each a treasure and together magic.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun little blocks! I also love making small things.
ReplyDeleteI love that you keep counting! I use the little clips to keep my blocks together in groups of 10. Saves a lot of time counting for us OCDQs (OCD quilters!)
