I ran across the Moda Sampler Block Shuffle 2015 project at Bear Creek Quilting Company and decided it would be a fun project to try. I am still a bit behind on making/posting the blocks, but I do have all the pieces cut, I just need to sew the blocks together.
For this project, I am using the fabric Good Neighbors designed by Amanda Jean at Crazy Mom Quilts. The fabric is sold exclusively at Connecting Threads.
Block 25
I started using some of the low volume fabrics from this line to fill in the background of some of the blocks because I started to run out of the solid I had started with. I think that if I randomize them throughout the quilt, they will look really good with the blocks that have a solid background. For Block 25, I used a fabric with a horizontal stripe for the main fabric, and the low volume dashed diagonal lines for the background.
Block 26
Block 26 was really easy to assemble – four HST and five squares. I am really liking the “X” pattern and polkadots together.
Block 27
I love the combination of pink and turquoise together! By itself, Block 27 is really busy, but I think once I place it in the quilt with some tamer blocks near it, it will really stand out.
Only three blocks left to make, and then I can start assembling the quilt! I am super excited to see how it turns out.
