Once I saw all the colors together...it reminded me of a party, a festive celebration! And in a way I'm celebrating the birth of a new block and design! (that's a stretch)

| Party Celebration Quilt 33" x 45" |
This color scheme is so different from my tutorial block. In the original, the flying geese are front and center, they stand out because of the dark blue. These geese are much more laid back, letting the solids become the focal point. I don't think this quilt could have taken one more bright bold color.
The back is Kona Turquoise with a band of 'party goers' doing a Conga Line across it.
Geometric quilting all the way! I put on my Dot to Dot hat, but machine quilted and found points that I could connect. I really like how it turned out!
This quilt isn't a square at all...it's a Party Animal!
'Block My World'...my block worked! It became an interesting design that can change depending on fabric, colors and imagination. I have a few plans brewing, the question is when will I find the time!

You go girl and party on!!! You deserve it. Love the pattern and your quilt is just lovely. Reminds me of the confetti flying in the air when someone pops a balloon at a party!!! Finding time? From what I have seen you do, time will find you :-)

This quilt does have a confetti flying vibe! I hope you are right about time finding me, I need it!
DeleteI love it!! Such fun and vibrant prints.
ReplyDeleteI had to see what my block would look like in a quilt! I couldn't rest until I did!
DeleteThis is great, Jayne! I can see why you may have a few things brewing with this one. It makes such a difference to see a whole quilt out of the one block. I have to echo Preeti here, "Party on!!!"
ReplyDeleteOh! And nice new header!!!! :)
DeleteI think it's always fun to see where a block will take you and since I spent so much time designing it…it needed to be done! Too many ideas with this one!
DeleteThanks for noticing the header...still not sold on it!
So pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteJayne, it's fabulous! Yes, it is amazing to see what fabric placement will do. I love how you quilted it!
ReplyDeleteI noticed your header also! Looks great!
This was my first try, but I have a few more ideas up my sleeve! Still tweaking the banner!
DeleteIt is beautiful, fun, and very festive, Jayne! I am still struck by the layered / 3D look your block acheives. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm wanting to play with the layered part of it more, I think it could be rather fun and interesting!
DeleteSo nice and fresh....
ReplyDeleteI do like that this pattern can look so different depending on the color choices.....
It would be nice to have a Flickr group with quilts made only in this pattern...😃
It feels like a great way to welcome in spring! Bright and festive! I would love to see anything anyone made with my blocks or designs!!
DeleteI like your fabric and color choice! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThe fabric just fell into place with this block!
DeleteIt's a party at your house....I'm on my way! :) It really is so interesting how fabric choice will totally change the way a quilt looks. Love this festive version and the quilting fits the design perfectly. Thanks so much for linking this fun quilt to MCM!
ReplyDeleteCome on over!! It is amazing what fabric choices will do! I'm just happy that the block worked in a real quilt!
DeleteGood you went beyond the one block wonder! And it turned out awesome! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteThank you Debbie! I had to make sure it would work…I mean that is the goal, right?!
DeleteLove your block. The fabric choices are perfect and totally represent the party celebration theme! Love it, love it, love it! Nadine W. Northern Cali
ReplyDeleteIt's all about the party, right?! It was fun putting my stash to work with a new design!
DeleteIt`s stunning and cool fabric combo.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT, Jayne. So awesome.
ReplyDeleteWow, it really does look completely different from the block hop block! It's amazing how a design can change just from the fabric selection/placement. Great colors in this.
ReplyDeleteLove it. Nice and bright color combos look great together.
ReplyDeleteVery striking design and fabric choices. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe solids are such a great combinations with the C+S fabric. Great use of fabrics for your block design!
ReplyDeleteI like how you have used the one print to link all the solids. I do see a party - like confetti colours.
