Green Buckeye Beauty Blocks

Buckeye Beauty quilt blocks in green

These Buckeye Beauty blocks make for a busy quilt, don't you think?  Maybe too busy?

These are 6" blocks.  I think a 6 x 7 layout with 42 blocks and a border would be a good size for a baby quilt.

I'm linking this post to today's Rainbow Scrap Challenge at soscrappy.  Click over to see how others are using green scraps.

  1. They don't seem to busy to me. Looks like a great start to a quilt for a boy.

  2. If you find them too busy, what about some sort of chain-type separator block in between?

    1. That's an idea to try, Joyful. Someone else suggested sashing. I can try both.

  3. I don't think they look too busy. I like the contrast of the light-on-dark and the dark-on-light blocks.

    1. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Julie. These blocks began as a "study" in value. I think I'm succeeding since you specifically mentioned lights and darks. Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.

  5. Busy isn't necessarily bad. I think they look quite pleasing together.

    1. You're right, Katie. I do often like busy quilts. Maybe I'm just too close to this one to appreciate it yet. Thanks for your kind comment about the blocks.

  7. Just an honest-to-goodness scrap quilt. That kind of busy is good in my book! : )

    1. Thanks for your comment, Janet. I've laid the blocks out again in a different arrangement -- green with all the colors. I'll play some more and figure it out soon.
