quilt blocks....check

I had quite a productive morning yesterday and managed to complete my first task for the Block Party quilting bee. I love the fabrics Alissa sent and it was fun to play around with a new-to-me color scheme.

the first block

The assignment was wonky log cabins. I hope they are the right amount of wonky.

the second block

(The fabric in the background is a chair I recently had re-upholstered. My friend found this amazing mid-century chair in a thrift store for $3 but it was in pretty bad shape so off it the shop it went and $150 later I have a very nice chair....that better last me a VERY long time.)

This quilting project really got me thinking about how I use color in my own quilts or rather how I don't use enough of it. It has inspired me to mix things up in my sewing room this week. I hope I'll have some fun things to show you over the next few weeks.
