Some very long time ago, Meg and I started one quilt. I’ll speak for myself, but I imagine it goes for many, and I’ll say that it was harder than I thought it was going to be to keep things going each month. And here you have the evidence: This block is Sarah’s block, for which she sent out the fabric nearly one year ago. Oh my! Thankfully, we’re just a nice and understanding bunch of people. Also thankfully, this is the last block I owe at the present. At some point, I want to make mosaics of each participant’s blocks, but I’m going to wait on it some more and see what happens.
Sarah’s fabrics were such a good mix to work with. This quilt from a past Toko Quilt Festival was the inspiration. It is such a beautiful quilt. The part that Sarah wanted to build on was the idea of areas of densely pattered patchwork and areas of tonal patchwork. It’s always fun to play with others’ ideas.

Hi- just found your lovely blog recently… I’m ‘upstate’ from you. I’m a big knitter and a quilter wanna be, and I LOVED this block. Neato.
I LOVE this block. Awesome.
