My Baltimore Bliss BOM Blocks
#1
I have been downloading these patterns, and made one block but it looked HORRIBLE, so I put it aside. Then I saw SD's really pretty block and got inspired. I cut out the shapes for 3 blocks last night and ironed them on. I will do the machine stitching at the end so I don't have to keep switching thread as much.
I am making it for my mom so I am working out of my comfort zone- she likes red, white and blue. (Her whole log home is decorated in those colors.) I myself prefer clear, bright, graphic colors, so I didn't have much in the way of fabric to choose from. But the last month or so I have been finding bags of quilting fabric at Goodwill and a lot of the fabrics were more Mom's colors. So most of the fabric in here is thrifted!
I would love to see the blocks that other people are making- I was thinking of making one for myself, too, but don't know if I am that ambitious! LOL!

This one I switched up a little bit from the original. I messed up on cutting so I rearranged til I got something that worked.

Yeah, I see what you mean TL- it would look like an antique/repro, but it didn't photograph quite true. In RL the yellow looks too bright.
Anyway, I like the others MUCH better.
If anyone wants the ugly one, I will send it to them! LOL! PM me your address. Free! I'll even cover the stamp. I don't like it but I don't want to throw it away. But I warn you- it's uglier in RL than it looks on here.
