It’s Week 15 of the RBD Block Challenge and I am looking forward to this block challenge ending soon. I don't know that I will do a block challenge not knowing what the final outcome will be as I like to know what I'm getting myself into before I get too deep.
I was very pleased with how all my squares ended up coming together on this block. I only had to use "Jack" one time and that was because I sewed a row in the wrong order.
This week’s block is called the Summer Picnic block and is brought to us by Christopher Thompson, aka The Tattooed Quilter. You can view the blocks Christopher made on the Riley Blake Blog where you will find 3 different block that he created for this week. He made a Christmas block, which I think is my favorite, using fabric from his own collection, Holly Holiday. The second block was red, white and blue and the final block was from the Riley Blake Confetti Cottons collection, which is the collection that I have been using for this entire quilt.
The colors I used this week were Frosting, Moss, Canyon Rose, and Le Creme Confetti Cottons.
There is only 1 final block left and then it will be time for sashing, quilting, backing and border. Still not sure if I will have someone else quilt it or do it myself. I'm waiting to see the final version and then I will decide how I want to finish this up. I don't regret starting this as it has given me the confidence to keep quilting and as such I have many more projects waiting in the wings to get started on. I just don't want more than two or three projects going at one time as to avoid becoming overwhelmed.
