economy blocks in lavender & blue

There's been a bit of a holding pattern on these economy blocks while I jumped back & forth with my setting options. Once I'd finally decided, I then spent more time reconfiguring my blocks to make the best of what I had previously cut & made up. The sewing room table was a chaotic mess!
Over the week though, I've made good progress.

Thanks to the strong repetition of those lavender & blues, this still has a scrappy feel no matter how chaotic things got!  The neutral tones help brighten the soft colours while creating a fresh, airy look. 
These square-in-a-square blocks are a fun twist on a favourite simple block, love the secondary design too.

The 'to be quilted' queue is getting longer - but it’s not a race, there's always tomorrow.

I love this little quilt, your fabrics are so lovely! She looks like a good one to snuggle under after the quilting is finished. Happy stitching!

That took some planning to get the star in there. I usually forget that block has a secondary pattern until I see a photo of my layout and a star pops up. Pretty colors.

I like the soft/bright colourings in this top. It makes for a very pretty quilt.
