Katie’s Block

My first quilting bee block!  Katie wanted a block that was based off of Denise Schmidt’s Project Improv.  OK, I took the challenge,   did some flickring around for inspiration and I came up with this.

I hope she likes it.  I really wanted to try a diamond within a square, and I am happy with the way it turned out...I really like that it's off center.   I was a little challenged in doing this because I normally lean towards for a balance with the colors and patterns.

I was surprised at the time it took, so I am really glad that I only had to do one!  I also used just about every scrap that Katie gave me, and added 3 other fabrics of my own…I can’t help but wonder if her strategy was for us to really work with the scraps to get more of an improv look??!!!

Katie, I will have it in the mail to you this week.  I really hope you like it!
