Red and Aqua D9P blocks are finished!

This is what happens to 25 red and aqua 9 patch quilt blocks when you cut them into quarters...

Oh my! What a crazy table full of bright and cheerful red and aqua fabrics!

I made each of the 25 9-patch blocks unique, mixing and matching the fabrics so that some of the blocks had one of each fabric and others had only one red and one aqua fabric repeated. The variety of blocks that resulted in the cutting of the 9-patch blocks is really amazing! What fun to see it all come apart like that!

I'll be mailing these blocks to Jane very soon, and then I'll be waiting anxiously to see what wonderful variety I receive in return. These blocks will certainly make an eye catching quilt!

What is the wildest color combination you ever used in a quilt? I'd love to know!

Happy Stitching!

Oh I really like it! Red is one of my favorite colors and with that blue it makes a nice contrast.

Wow. This is so impressive. Although i agree with you, these are not colors i would have thought to mix.

I am doing a give away this week, if you are interested. And i posted some pics of my scarf/hat combos thus far.

Hope you're having a lovely day! :)
