Quilt Story: Fabric Tuesday #22 / Block Party

Fresh Poppy Design

Update on Feb. 6: This is now my first entry for Quilt Story's Block Party!


Linking to Fabric Story's Fabric Tuesday for the first time, with this block that I made over the weekend:



The origami flower in the center is from Rebecca Wat's Fantastic Fabric Folding, but the overall block design is mine (although obviously traditional). Batiks are from Connecting Threads, and finished size is 6".

Mini Tokyo Subway Map Quilt-Along - Block 7 / Serendipity

 
Posted by Picasa

See how the 6th row from the top is all orange, except for the last square on the right, which is dark blue, but says "Orange?" Total coincidence. I've got the cut-out squares in plastic glasses, and when I pick them for each block, I try to get a variety of tones, styles, scales, etc., but that's about it for planning. I just happened to grab the blue "orange" when I was looking for another dark blue.

Why does the fabric say "orange"? It's a cute novelty design with various images of coffee-related objects and the names of various coffee drinks in script. "Orange" was part of the phrase "Seville Orange," which I didn't realize was a coffee drink, but no complaints here.

(Don't worry, I also did Blocks 4, 5, & 6, I just need to play catch-up for them.)
