I also ordered some of the rerelease of Andalucia because I loved the bit of navy in it. Have you noticed navy coming back? So I started with this...
And added some pieces from my stash.
With a little trial and error, I made my first 2 blocks. Geta gives some basic instructions on making the block. You can see the finished quilt in this post and scroll down for the links to her instructions.
I used a 15 degree ruler for the wedges and cut them from a strip set that was composed of a 2 1/2" white, a 1 1/4" navy and a 3 3/4" green strip. I'm wondering if there's too much white and I should cut that down a bit?
Anyway, they were pretty easy to make and they look so hard! Love that!!
I'll draw a winner for the give away on Wednesday! And also share my source for the dishes as many of you have asked!

The colour combo is amazing and the white looks perfect to me! I love that navy is starting to make a comeback!
ReplyDeleteThese are really just so stunning. I can't stop looking at them. Love the navy, especially that it's getting paired with such bright, happy colors.
ReplyDeleteThose are really great blocks! I love the navy, too. I seem to have filled my closet with navy this spring and have even added a little navy to my stash recently!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Those look great!
ReplyDeleteNavy has long been my favorite color, particularly paired with a springy green. These are GORGEOUS! Can't WAIT to see this one come together!
ReplyDeleteOH wow, those look outrageously hard! I really like the navy/lime combination....actually I haven't noticed navy popping up...I'll have to keep my eye out! Oh wait, there was that Denyse Schmidt line at Joann's now that I think about it...
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I just LOVE this quilt! Thanks for directing my to Geta's blog, as well.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...haunting is right...I've thought of this all day now!!!! The epiphany, for me, came when I realized how great my treasured bundle of Terrain could look with this :) And so happy to find Geta Grama's blog! Wow! :)
ReplyDeleteI keep coming back to look at this block. I just love it. But keep wondering if I could do it!
