Second Pink and Black Block

It has taken me a week and a half to get in my craft room again to sew. Time sure flies.

My original idea had 15 original blocks. Then I was going to reverse the colors on each one to make a second block. When that was done I would have 30 blocks for my quilt.

I got my second block done. I realized as I finished it that it was two colors and I couldn't reverse it effectively for the other block. I thought about it all evening. I have 3 more like this. I think I will pair it with another of two colors and switch the fabrics. That way all of the ones that are two toned will look different.

 

Pink and Black Quilt

Around the same time as I started gathering the fabric for Ann's quilt I decided on my next two. I am doing one for me and one for my mom.

I was in one of the quilt stores a couple of months ago and saw one up one the wall that I fell in love with. It was pink, white, black. Right then and there I decided that is what I wanted to do. I have been all over town picking out fabric. The in colors right now are black, white and red, and so it is a little hard to find.

I finally feel like I have enough fabric to start. This is going to be a queen size. I got really lucky and found the backing at JoAnn's on sale for 50% off. Saved me a fortune.

I finally got into my sewing room this afternoon. I was bound and determined to start my quit today since I didn't have to go to work.

It took a little bit of time to decide which colors I was going to use first. One down 14 to go.
