Scrappy Saturday - Orange Part 3



Three orange X-Marks-the-Block blocks (cut from the strata) . . .

(Teresa's tutorial is linked in my sidebar)




Nine month's worth of blocks on the design wall --

I've been calling this quilt-to-be Happy Happy Joy Joy.

Every time I pull out these blocks,
their power simply takes my breath away.




Also cut from strata, this month's batch of scrappy flying geese.




The Eclectic Goose will not be laid out like this,
but I see a LOT of possibilities!

(Inspiration idea from the River Trees pattern in an old issue of The Quilt Life)

I just love what you've done with your X Marks the Block, the black and white really set your colours off, I see one of these in my future.

Your Happy Happy, Joy Joy is looking even more alluring with the orange added, the whole quilt just sparkles and I'm looking forward to seeing Eclectic Goose when you have the final layout.

Oh my gosh Julie - I sure do see what you mean about the POWER of these blocks!!! I'm definitely going to have to make some of those - they inspire me every time I see them on your blog :)

WOW THESE TWO PROJECTS ARE GREAT.

I feel the power too! I like yours better than the one in Teresa's tutorial. That b/w just makes it outstanding.
