Finally got around to playing with the fabrics for the latest buck-a-block. Naturally, I didn't care for the combination of blue-and-red that was provided in the kit.
Even the blue on the bottom right didn't suit me: too much orange in it. The pattern is "Old Windmill" from The Farmer's Wife. The picture shows red pinwheels in the center, and blue half-pinwheels along the edges. Not convinced I will stick with that (especially since I won't use red), but pinwheels are easy to maneuver as the block is being constructed. Room for creativity!
To match my previous blue block, I looked for brighter turquoise shades to complement the navy. Also went back to the clouds-on-ivory for my background print. Very pleased with the undersea print--can't wait to get started sewing it all together.
