It's a beautiful warm Spring weekend here. In-between things, I have managed to quickly sew my nine 16 1/2" blocks all together. The 'Marjorie' quilt from Jennifer at penelopehandmade is a variation of the traditional 'dutchman's puzzle' block. I love repeating blocks like this one because it gives so much room to play with colour.
From a practical point of view, changing out the background fabrics between the blocks worked well for me too because I don't often buy large pieces of fabric.
And, always a bonus, a few old fabrics have managed to end up in these blocks, super happy that they haven't ruined the "pas-tel" vibe I was aiming for.
Yes, this is my favourite kind of quilt
- inspired by tradition but reworked to look a bit modern.
