I did have to read, and reread, the instructions for making this quilt,
Shine. It is a free pattern at moda bakeshop. I couldn't tell where the cut pieces matched the intended block. It calls for a different white in one corner of the 9 patch, and, I wasn't sure it would matter, using my fabrics instead of the ones in the pattern. I made a trip to Joann, and a shiny white was a remnant, so I used that for the "special " corner.
I am glad the instructions were for strip piecing. I think, my other confusion, was how to only cut in the color for the month, as part of the rainbow scrap challenge. In any event, I made the green blocks for January. And, I think I have ironed out all the details for the rest of the blocks. It's a big block - 14 inches or so.

I can see where this block would be confusing with the way the rectangular pieces are in it. I always have to lay every thing out and check check check!
ReplyDeletethose are great blocks and will look great as an RSC quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat's a neat block! I can see where those "different" background squares are going to stand out somewhere in the design.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting block.
ReplyDeleteI'm SEW looking forward to seeing your RSC blocks grow into a quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great block! Yours look great in green.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I like these blocks! And they show up really well in light green. This should be a terrific quilt!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty block - look forward to seeing how the different colors come together!
ReplyDeleteI considered this block, read the instructions three or four times, then settled on something smaller and easier! LOL
ReplyDeleteYours has come together nicely, good on you for persevering.
