Two Colours:
This week, we’re going to use 2 colours and you can make anything you like, but you’re going to use 2 colours. If you want, you can add in a neutral, which some would say is 3 colours. However, the SAHRR does NOT have quilt police, so you can do it YOUR way! There are probably over a million different blocks out there, so you can choose. I’m going to keep it simple and use a 4 patch.

I decided to follow the option for three colors since I wanted to incorporate the neutral and two of the colors that are in my center block. Here are my blocks for this prompt.

These blocks are fun and not too difficult to make. I fashioned it after an upcoming pattern I designed using precuts in a soon-to-be released collection of Island Batik fabric. The fabrics I used for these blocks are from the Just Dandy collection by Kate Colleran. They are still available in some places, and I did notice a 10″ stack of this line available from Hancock’s of Paducah (no affiliation). They do have some yardage available as well…but unfortunately not the entire line. The background fabric is also from Island Batik and is called Cornsilk. It is part of their foundations basics line that are available year round!

Again, you won’t see this round added to what I have already made because I am not placing them in the order of the prompts. You can do that too, if you’d like. Remember – no quilt police! LOL This block measures 8″ finished. I will also add some coping strips/spacers to make them fit where I want them.

Head to your studio and prepare to make your blocks for this prompt. Then head over to Gail’s blog and show them off in the linky pary. Remember, you interpret each prompt and it’s placement as YOU see fit! There are no quilting/designing police in this SAHRR!! Thank goodness!! As you can see, my blocks are many different sizes that work together to form this quilt! It’s all up to you! Make one block, make a row, or even an entire border!

If you don’t have a blog you can link up an Instagram post as well to be eligible for one of the many prizes that will be given away.

Visit each of the co-hosts and take a look at their interpretations of this round.
