Curve It Up – Block #12 - Spools

block 12

Here is the last block in the Curve It Up Quilt Along!!  You can find the instructions for Block #12 – Spools Block here.   I approached this block differently and wanted the 4 batiks that I used in the quilt to be the focus.  One spool in each pair highlights one of the fabrics and the second spool has all 4 fabrics pieced together.  I’m very happy with how it turned out.   I now have to patiently wait for Jenny and Helen to post some layout ideas as I think these blocks need some sashing to make it bigger and frame each block.

I was hoping this project would put a dent into my hand dyed fabrics but it didn’t!   It was fun to try though :)

  1. Kathy--I just love seeing any and all of your work. This project is moving higher on my list all the time. Of course, mine won't be as lovely as I don't have those wonderful hand dyed fabrics. I do have a collection of batiks that I will probably use.

  3. I was hoping you would have them all together! It looks really good! I want to change one of my blocks before I play around with the layout.
