I guess with only two colors in a quilt, especially when they are low contrast like these, one really has to consider what will create the pattern and whether it will be strong enough to be interesting. I hope it works with these colors and block pattern!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-44744732934214146592018-02-13T15:58:59.768-05:002018-02-13T15:58:59.768-05:00Thank you, Rebecca.

Now that I've had several suggestions about what the blocks/colors remind readers of, I guess I have several options for consideration when it comes to a name for the quilt.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-49731729657096681192018-02-13T15:55:49.432-05:002018-02-13T15:55:49.432-05:00Thank you, Christine.

I'm hoping not to become addicted....<br /><br />Yes, I'm finding make these 2-color blocks on the boring side, even with the variety of scrap fabrics. I hope the quilt isn't boring because of it.

Of course, since these are fabric, the only crunching/chewing might be from a teething baby or a puppy or kitten (none of which are residents here).<br /><br />I thought the blocks just needed more than the two sizes, and now I'm thinking they need the next size up, too. I'm still playing. But honestly, these are not very exciting to make.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-4596388021964147072018-02-13T15:15:24.779-05:002018-02-13T15:15:24.779-05:00Oh, what fun.
