a few floral blocks

The 'little miss sawtooth star' pattern is in muted tones, which I loved the 1st time I made this quilt, check out the link here to see a pic. However, there are heaps of opportunities to do things your own way with this pattern - something I just love about this creative colourful hobby!
This time around, I'm focusing on the saturated colours of Anna Maria’s Beata's Garden in steel, from her Good Gracious collection, and am loving it! Wink, wink, it's not at all restrictive colourwise actually, there's lots to work play with. 
I'm mainly going with assorted purples/teal blues/ daisy yellows, rosy pinks and just a few scattered pale 'indelible soft' florals from AMParry. Most of my background colours are a tad more medium/dark than last time, I think. 




I'm enjoying my ramble through these floral blocks.
 Here are my latest two blocks this weekend ...

Isla block


Sadie block



Thinking ahead, I'm considering adding sashing to my little miss sawtooth star blocks, 
rather than the large alternating 4-patches in the pattern.
Maybe a unifying print something like this? 





Anyways, I'll make a few more blocks and then make a decision. 
Happy weekending, 
Linda

    Love the variety of stars. The sashing definitely adds a nice unifying touch.

    Good Gracious! :-) For sure this is looking good. I especially like the second block for the graphic feel of prints in the center. "Heaps of opportunities" is precisely why we love quiltmaking so much, right? I'm enjoying that YOU'RE enjoying making these blocks. Keep up the fun work!
