Here are my next 4 blocks for the Medallions QAL. Thought I would get some blues and greens in the mix. Here they are with the other blocks I have made so far.
Now that I have a few blocks to play with I wanted to see if a layout idea of mine would work. I thought it would look neat to offset the blocks in alternating rows like in the picture below.
Yes I definitely prefer this layout as I can see more quilting possibilities with the background fabric now connected. I see flowing feather in there now! :)
I’ll just need to make a few half blocks to fill in the top and bottom of the alternating rows.
Wow....you found a great layout. And I love your idea for the quilting!
ReplyDeleteI love the offset layout. Great secondary background design for quilting.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those quilt-alongs that really pulls at me! I can't believe I've been so good at resisting. Love your offset layout. That definitely looks more like you and better-suited for your quilting. :)
ReplyDeleteThey look great Kathy. So many possibilities.
ReplyDeleteI love the alternating layout out... very eye catching! This is going to a beauty.
ReplyDeleteI like it.
ReplyDeleteWoho, your layout plan is really interesting and looks great.

That is a great idea.... It looks fab... I only have three blocks made so far.... I'm also making separate coloured blocks like you rather than the same colour border.
ReplyDeleteYour layout will look great, and lots of quilting possibilities :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the off set layout-going to have to ponder that one myself now...:)
