jill here....You may have heard the shopping expression "don't know what I'm looking for but I'll know it when I see it"! I fell in love with these blue, slightly periwinkle fabrics. Didn't have a project in mind but one took shape. The Salsa block from
Quilts du Jour was chosen: five fabrics that were strip pieced to create the block's 4 different variations. Quick and fun! A blended outcome is created with the use of less contrast in the fabric choice.

| Baby sized Salsa blocks set in a random horizontal setting. |
 |
The prints are Tara by Dena for Free Spirit Fabrics.
The multidirectional, overall texture is Tule by Leah Duncan
for Art Gallery Fabrics. |
 |
These are the accompaniments adding in a blue geometric
and one yellow green with just a bit more zip.
One of the lighter prints was saved for the back. |
 |
The Snack Circuit sample from the book features the block
in solid, modern colors and a very graphic modern setting. |
The same block presented in two totally different fabrics creates many options. That's the surprise factor that makes it fun.
 |
| Fresh and sweet! |
 |
| The large scale print surrounded leftover blocks on the backing. |

| Ready for the perfect baby! |
Enjoy the day. 'till next Tuesday....

I just love this. So what is the actual pattern?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barb. So it's the Salsa block pattern following a horizontal random setting (featured in the settings section of our book).
ReplyDeleteFresh and sweet! Exactly!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lois!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see a design made up in different fabrics. The finished quilt can look SO different from fabric to fabric.
