I made the original block in Grunge Basics for Moda. You all know how I just love Grunge!!! And how cool does it look in a full quilt layout. I just love the fantastic geometric goodness of this block. Ya, I have added it to my list to make.
But now my only problem is, I don't know what version to make. I started playing around with the colors and how fun would it be to make it in a two color version. It just adds such a cool 3-d effect to it, especially in the grays and blacks.
And then I thought, I need to do some more scrap busting as my scrap drawers continue to overflow. So maybe a little low volume sashing added and then some super fun ombre scrappy blocks. Eeekk, I think I might just have to make this rainbow play version.
What ever version I decide on, it's going to be so much fun!!! It really is just a super fun block to put together and whips up pretty fast. I hope you want to make up your own version as well, and if you do, be sure and share it with me. Maybe it will help me decide which version to make ;)
ENTRY - Simply leave a comment that tells me your favorite version of the Circle Squared Block . . . Original, 2 Color, or Scrappy Rainbow. (you can help me decide which one to make ;)

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on having another block in this 100 block magazine - and especially having your name on the front of the cover. All versions above are great, but I must say the second version - two color version - especially looks striking with the grey and black.

Have to say the original version in grunge would be my favorite. The blocks look like nuts for screws, and even more so with the grunge colors. It'd be an excellent quilt for giving to a man that way. Thanks for the giveaway chance. Kimberly at LaunderedCotton at gmail dot com

ReplyDeleteI love the bright colors of Scrappy Rainbow, but making all 4 corners of the block in the same/similar color hides the quirkiness of the Original block.

ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm not usually a rainbow fan, I think your Scrappy Rainbow is really striking and that's the one I would choose.
ReplyDeleteI like the Scrappy Rainbow!
ReplyDeletenikilsend(at)outlook(dot)com
I love the original -- I love the vintage mod color palette. I'd be tempted to swap out the print,though. Using text and geometric prints, in the same palette, would feel more contemporary and less like a set piece in a period TV show.
ReplyDelete(sarahatsarahjoylewisdotcom)
I love the two tone, would love to use some fun gray and white text fabric fr it.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the two new versions have their own merits, I think I like the look of the original four color quilt. Your decision might become more difficult with all of our differing opinions!
ReplyDeleteTwo color version is my favorite...great design
ReplyDeleteI love the scrappy rainbow!
