BF bought me this awesome book for Christmas.
Inspired by Amanda’s Neutrals Quilt and Farmer’s Wife Quilt-a-Long, I decided I would make a neutrals JQB quilt.
I have been tweeting and instagraming photos of the blocks as I make them. Here is what I have so far.
JQB #1 Yosegi nikuzushi (Simple pairs)
This one I made a little scrappy because all I could see when looking at this block was a swastika & I’m totally not into that!
JQB #2 Yosegi gokuzshi (Simple fives)
JQB #3 Yosegi kawari nikuzushi (Simple pairs variation)
I love how striking this one is in black & white.
JQB #4 Hirasan kuzushi (Simple three lines form)
The Alexander Henry fabric makes this one creepy…and I like it.
JQB #5 Kurume kasuri igeta (Kurume well curb)
JQB #6 Yamato kasuri igeta (Yamato well curb)
I really like this one too, even though the double gauze makes it a little wobbly.
The book has a few sashiko blocks too. Sashiko is perfect for on-the-go handwork! I’ve drawn up #85 Raimon (Spiral) so I can pull it out & work on it whenever I have a few spare minutes. Oh, and I’m using sparkly floss!!
Your blocks look great – and some of your chosen fabrics definitely have an ‘urban crunch’ … wonder what the finished quilt will look like! =D
