M-12
Difficulty of block: easy Number of pieces: 19 Method used: hand piecing
The week went by so fast I didn't get a chance to piece Hopscotch, until this morning. I'm not sure what collection the main fabric is from, but isn't it a pretty one?
It's so interesting to see your choices of fabric - I too love fabric from this period, but our choices are totally different. I just recently fell in love with smoky purples and plums and added lots to my stash. Neutrals have been missing until recently - always more to buy!!
steady she goes with these wonderful blocks. I just can't wait to see what fabric you will use next!! lovely fleur de lee (sp) in the middle there..
ReplyDeleteYour fabric selections are always so surprising, dramatic, unique -- you use ones I've never seen, and they're all lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe fabrics in this one work so well together, and this is the perfect block to showcase them. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAn easy block but the fabrics used make it very striking.
ReplyDeleteLove the falling snow on your blog.
