With so many larger finishes to share lately, it felt good to focus on this week's Summer Sampler block while I watched our guild's meeting on Zoom this week. Designed by Lucy Engels, it 'explores size and shape in this take on the Dutchman's Puzzle.' I was able to use Lee Heinrich's Perfect Flying Geese templates again for the smaller pairs of geese, and I really like the unique larger geese with that bottom 'bar.'
I also swapped out the main blue fabric I had been using for a tad lighter Carolyn Friedlander print. I'd intended it as an alternate since the beginning of the sewalong, but finally used it in this block. It just felt like the time was right.
I'm super pleased with my collection of blocks so far. Six down, seven to go, including the large center block near the end. Looking forward to that one!
Your color selections on this are striking and unique! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe bar at the bottom of the triangles was the first thing that caught my eye! another beautiful block
ReplyDeleteGreat choice to swap out the fabric, and I always love seeing the blocks together. :)
ReplyDeleteGee, but this is looking great! You have such a refreshing color palette, and each block looks unique. What a fun project for you to work on each month.
ReplyDeleteLove your fabric colors so much :) xo
ReplyDeleteGreat piecing! And that lighter blue is just right.
ReplyDeleteExciting quilt adventure.
So very pretty. The colors compliment each other while each block is unique. I can't wait to see the final result all pulled together.
