Summer Sampler 2019 :: Circle Gets the Square

This week's Summer Sampler block is all about using color and fabric placement. Designed by Krystina Hopkins/KH Quilts, you can see the piecing is simple enough - you know - just a few little curves, all pieced the same way. But what really makes the design shine is playing with the fabric placement. It's not something I've explored much, but I love how the use of the 'white' fabric gives the illusion of a square in the center of the block. Kind of remarkable.
