BOTM update: The new block has been given out. Still not excited about the fabrics...

| "Americana" colorway - not my favorite |

The block pattern is again from
The Farmer's Wife book of quilt blocks. It's called "Wild Geese". I received the fabrics shown here, along with cutting directions and a diagram of the block.
I knew I wouldn't be using everything I got. It was my intention to make all the blocks in blue--so I tried to match the blue here with various blues in my stash. Alas... I just wasn't feeling it. So I played a bit with the red.
Ended up using the red and cream provided; adding black (can you see the tiny stars in the black fabric? It's from Moda) with pink accent fabric. The directions said to use different fabrics on the North-South vs. East-West pink triangles. Also, those were probably meant to be more neutral/pastel. Oh well--I like it just fine.
Who knows what this will go with. Or where it will eventually end up. I can't really imagine it with last month's blue block.
Is the point of a BOTM to have a quilt top done at the end of a year? Oh dear, I'm in trouble already...
