Blocks for Yvonne


I'm sure many of you know Yvonne aka Quilting Jetgirl. She is such a nice and prolific blogger. When she put out call for blocks I knew I want to contribute as well. She even made tutorial.


It took me a while since having options is harder than making 10" square block.
Today I stopped procrastinating and started with this improve piece inspired by piano block.


I used ballerina print for the second one. Honestly it wasn't easy even though these are simple blocks. This is not my usual color pallet. It is funny how challenging is to make something out of our comfort zone.

Both blocks are totally out of proportion but I leave to Yvonne to size them down. I hope the kids will like it and I'm quite curious what the final quilt will look like.

If you don't know Yvonne, check her out as she just published new pattern and it is fab!



For fun I took the Kona Color Personality test. As I like the result I decided to share :)

*update: Here is the link for the test.



Happy Easter everyone!
