I am so busy just staring at it, my mind is just stunned. Each block is it's own little masterpiece.

Ube, Thank you for your kind words. This was a group quilt along here on the Board. You can see all our blocks close up on the dedicated thread: http://www.quiltingboard.com/blocks-...s-t171784.html.

Take care, Nicky

NY Gal, thank you for your kind words!! Sometimes I used the same colors as in the book, most of the time not. Since each block takes at least 5 or 6 different fabrics, I would start with a focal print and pull the other colors from that. I bought small pieces or fat quarters I liked when I saw them. I keep the fabrics separated by main color in gallon size baggies.

This was a group quilt along here on the Board. Some people used a limited set of fabrics with one background. Mine is totally scrappy.

I made them all but left out NM, only because I didn't like the fabric I used. You can post your pics on the dedicated thread here:
