Around the block, patchwork

December practice squares

Whoops, I forgot to post my Kaffe Fassett Around the Block practice squares before the real ones done for Sheridan!  Part of the reason is that I was so keen to get stuck into the fabrics she’d sent me that I actually did the practice squares after doing Sheridan’s…

I did have to do more maths to make my squares 12.5 inches (that’s the size I’m working on for all the Kaffe practice ones I’m doing).  No major mistakes though, and these are the squares I ended up with.

Working with such a riot of colour and pattern can be a challenge but it’s a welcome education. I’m mainly using scraps and random fat quarters, so this quilt will just evolve over the course of Around the Block. Who knows how it will end up!
