I love how Amy arranged her fabrics, with the center square a blend of 2 main "wing" colors. Super cool and graphic. I chose peach and pink as my two main colors, and used my beloved Sweetwater sewing dictionary fabric as the background.
I'm not sure how large Amy's blocks are, but I decided to supersize mine. My finished block is 24.5" square, with each finished half square triangle measuring 4.5" (unfinished).
I'm envisioning mounting and framing this block as a piece of wall art. Thoughts? I'd love some suggestion on this! Have you ever framed a quilt block? Is it hard?
Happy stitching,
Kelly

I fuh-reaking love this!! Love love love.
The dictionary fabrics (swoon!). I love the peach and pink together with the black and white!!!!!!
I want to see more of this. I really, really, really do!
I have no willpower. I have already ordered some of that great text print. I am a book editor who sews, so how could I resist a dictionary print with sewing terms?
Your block looks great!
Very cool. I have never framed a block so I'm no help there. We missed you this past week. See you tomorrow.
Thanks lady!
Thanks jean! Ok, you've encouraged me to keep going.
Are we long lost twins? I'm an editor too.....
I missed you too, tamie! See you soon! I can't wait to hear all the stories!
Ok... GORG! Don't care if you use it as a floor mat let alone frame it! It is beautiful. Just love the color choices and the fabrics.
Looks lovely! Great color choices :)
What a great block! I love the colors that you chose... and that type print that you used for the foundation color. Now I might have to try this block :)
Great tips, many thanks for sharing. I have printed and will stick on the wall! I like this blog. Fabric Bundles for Sale
