Monday Modern's May Mission

Really, it's a challenge but that would ruin the alliteration I had going on!

Robyn won last months blocks and set us a 'Swamp Block' challenge. I made one and then thought, why not another. They are pretty quick to whip up.



My first one is pretty bright, so I tried to darken things down in the second block. Using a "light neutral" in the corners, rather than white, made me think twice about my centre squares. Everything came out of the stash. I like blocks like that!

And I have made a start on my next Circle Game block.


I will link up with Lee @ Freshly Pieced on Wednesday there.

  5. Your MM May Mission blocks look very effective, love the mainly solids look with a focus fabric ...just wondering about the actual block name? origin? L

    1. It's one of many blocks w/o unique names from the Godey's Lady's Book 1858, also published as Swamp Angel somewhat later
