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.
I can't believe it's already Wednesday again! Swamp patches look great :)
ReplyDeleteLove them! Love the solids - it really makes everything else stand out!
ReplyDeleteFun blocks! Have a great week
ReplyDeleteThe Swamp block looks fun - great way to use the fussy cut pieces too.
ReplyDeleteYour 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
ReplyDeleteIt's one of many blocks w/o unique names from the Godey's Lady's Book 1858, also published as Swamp Angel somewhat later
DeleteI really like your blocks. I shall have to make some of my own so I can be in the draw!
ReplyDeletelove those blocks... I also love a good alliteration lol
