Don’t you just love picking out fabrics for quilt blocks?  Once I’ve got that first print, that is.

I just got my hands on this yummy orange colored apple print.  The blue jumped right in, and then the yellow.

I wanted black in my Caroline block.  The red and green allowed for great contrast, which makes the pinwheels pop!

I am paper piecing my blocks, and have discovered a wonderful hint for the blocks like Caroline that have lots of pieces in lots of colors.  Before I start stitching, I write the colors that I am using in the appropriate sections of the foundation papers.  This has saved me a lot of grief in the piecing process!

Too lazy to wander out into the blazing sunshine, I decided to photograph the blocks on my new couch.  The couch is orange, but seems to show up as a different color in each picture!

Wishing you sunny skies and rainbows!
