I'm not sure if I prefer this way:
Or flipped:
What do you think? I suppose it would all depend on the adjacent squares.
This was a fun block that got me back in improvisational mode. I look forward to playing more with this design someday.
As for QuiltCon, I hope very much to go. I have family in Austin, so the location is perfect for me. The program looks amazing. The workshops are all so tempting, but the lectures alone would be worth the trip!
Is it already time again for the Fresh Sewing Day and Small Blog Meet at Lily's Quilts?
That means it's been a month since my last post. My poor neglected blog!
Till next time...
That block is pretty cute. I think I would like it both ways.
ReplyDeleteI'm so thinking about going to Austin....
Thanks, Mina. It'd be great to meet you in Austin!
DeleteI really, really, really want to go to Quilt Con and have friends that live there that I'd love to see, but it's not in the cards right now. Maybe if I win the lottery. Ha!
ReplyDeleteYour block looks great. I like it both ways, but agree that it depends on what it's next too.
Thanks, Melissa! QuiltCon 2014, maybe?
DeleteI do not consider myself a modern quilter, but I do like this block. I zipped over to the challenge and look forward to seeing the completed quilt.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the challenge. How cool it would be to see your block in the quilt.

Thank you so much, Jill. I'll be happy wherever my block ends up - it's just fun to participate!
DeleteLove it! It looks just perfect! I too really want too really want to go to quilt con, my brother even lives near Austin, now I just have to convince my husband.
ReplyDeleteBring him along - there's lots to do in Austin! ;-) Thanks for the kind comments.
Deletelove your quilt con block - I'd love to go but I'm in Australia so its a long way for a few days - I'll be hanging on all the tweets though - enjoy it for me too !
ReplyDeleteToo bad... if only you could combine it with some sightseeing and turn it into a longer vacation. Thanks for the block love!
DeleteI like it both ways too. I also wish I could go to Quilt Con but not happening this year.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Beth! Sorry to hear you can't make it. Let's hope for 2014!
Deletecongrats! Sarah on your block being chosen for the Quilt Con block Challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words, Carrie! It's very exciting to see my block on the MQG blog. Whether or not it's chosen for the raffle quilt (to be revealed next month), I'm thrilled to be in such great company. Have you seen the Flickr stream of QuiltCon blocks? All so inspiring! I don't envy Elizabeth's job - I could never settle on just 20 blocks!
Deletecan you tell me where QuiltCon 2014 will be held, and when? SO excited to go!
