While I was in California last month I was not really sleeping well. Partly because my hubs is gone, but mostly because Anne wasn’t sleeping well (she misses her daddy). So I had a lot of time on my hands at night to play in Electric Quilt 7. Here is one of the blocks I came up with.
Originally there was no border on it, but I am using this design for one of the hives I’m in for the 3×6 Bee on Flickr and the blocks need to measure 12×12. I don’t have printer paper large enough to print the templates for a 12×12 block, so instead I made them 10×10 and put a border on them.
What do you all think? These are my colors and will go in the quilt I am making. I have actually designed a couple of quilts with this block, maybe some day I will find the time to make one of them!
Very Pretty!!!
Oh I really like that block!
really love this block, Melissa…it is very dynamic – great looking.
Great block! Your quilt is going to be awesome!
I love this block!! 🙂 But I am glad you are sleeping better now.
Like it! Love the colours.
wow that is just breathtaking!
Very nice! I love your choice of colors.
Love it, and the border makes it even better. It takes a while to absorb all the design possibilities. Are those quarter blocks paper pieced?
Well, since purple’s one of my faves, and I love paper piecing, you know this block would surely get my attention! Love it! I can’t wait to see what a bunch of ’em together looks like! I imagine there’d be lots of secondary patterns emerging. Very nicely done!
Purple isn’t one of my favorites but you have put it together in such a way that I really like it in this block.
Cool block 🙂
What a fab block,and the colors you chose are perfect! Glad you are home and sleeping a bet better 🙂
Very pretty! It’s a fact that a lot of us are insomniacs….what better way to use the time than in sewing and/or designing! LOL
Fab block and great colours! It’d make a gorgeous quilt!
Love the block and the colors Melissa! It is beautiful! I sure hope both of you are sleeping better now.
Love it! Purple is my favorite color!
That’s pretty cool!
It looks great. I love playing with EQ to design blocks.
this speaks to me on so many levels!!!
I love this. I am thinking about getting eq7. Do you like it? Is it pretty user friendly?
LOVE IT!
