This square in a square/economy block WiP is one of my favourites at the moment. I think I’ve got it all covered - large prints, small prints, spots, stripes & a little black & white!
Economy Stars Parade pattern by Rachel @stitchedincolor is a unique twist on a classic! I'm using her pattern as my starting point, but as I don't want a really huge quilt, I'm faffing around with different settings.
I'm fixed on keeping some sort of secondary star pattern happening - can u see it - and where possible using a focus fabric for my center squares.
Loving this blue & lavender combo.

a good way use up the scraps - I've got some small paper piecing squares to use for 3-5 inch blocks I think and will try to get some more scrappy quilts done soon
ReplyDeleteI really like your blocks! I can easily envision one in blues, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy economy blocks. But what you are doing with the stars makes it extra interesting!
ReplyDeleteI love an economy block and the colors you have here are wonderful. Off to see the pattern inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThat is one of my favorite blocks too. I think I have only made 2 quilts previously with that block though. Time for another.
