INTRODUCING BLOCK #6: SPINNING INTO SPRING by Linzee McCray
This is such a unique block…pretty sure I have never seen anything like it! It was fun to play with color placement on this one.
To get the block directions for this week from Linzee… GO HERE.
HOW WE DID OURS
This week Cynthia and I chose (2) reds, (1) green, (1) multi cream and a plain white on white for the background. Every once in a while adding in a white on white print for the background, or even a very tiny delicate print like a tiny pindot, really adds interest to a quilt. This time we chose a small floral white on white print for a little extra visual pop. I love the little soft cross in the center!
In terms of placement, working with a two color quilt, the cross in the center had to be a multi cream in order to stand out from both the red and the green. I felt like this print did the trick of feeling “different” enough without being too much of one color to blend in.
A couple quick tips on construction:
Sorry for the delay…. MORE SETTING INFO COMING TOMORROW IN SEPARATE POST
