Quiltmaker 100 Blocks Vol. 9 - Blog Tour
April 28, 2014
Hello!
Welcome to day 2 of Quiltmakers 100 Blocks blog tour! Hope you are enjoying the tour so far.
My block in Vol. 9 is called Positive Outlook. It is a block using only solids but, would also look great with all types of fabric!
I spend hours playing with layouts and color placements in my designs. Once I lay out the quilt in illustrator I love playing with the different elements....layout, color placement, all those fun things. Below are some different looks for this block with a straight setting and different colors.
Using Positive Outlook with red and green fabrics would look great for a Christmas quilt!
Or, the block set on-point.
I Hope you have fun with this block and all the others in the 100 Blocks series!
I've got 2 copies of Vol. 9 to giveaway as part of this blog tour. Just leave a comment below to be entered. I will draw for the second copy from all of our "likers" on our facebook page at the close of the giveaway. You can also check out our craftsy shop here. The giveaway will close at 11:00 pm (CST) Thursday, May 2nd.
Have fun exploring the other blogs on the tour and thanks again for stopping by!
Cheers!
Love the block. Amazing how changing colors and layouts can make it so different.

Very interesting block and the dramatic change when placed on-point is enough to make anyone do a double take! Enjoyed your post.

This is a block that would stand out as one block, such as a pillow, or as a whole quilt. love on-point setting one too. Thanks for the chance to win.
