A small easy one today!

Love in a Tangle

Love in a Tangle, 11 "

Hmmmm, the yellow I used is too pale -- not enought contrast to the ivory background.

Bridal Wreath

Bridal Wreath, 6"

Every time an applique block comes up, I think "Oh, noooo ... "

Mother's Choice

Mother's Choice, 12"

I like how the light and dark aquas make this look dimensional.

Sister's Choice

Sister's Choice, 10"

This group of "pink and bright" blocks looks better when I see them all together -- individually, they seem a little scattered.

Pot of Flowers

Pot of Flowers, 10"

This is a cute one!

Flower Basket

Flower Basket, 10"

The last of the basket blocks.

May Basket

May Basket, 5"

This is a teeny-tiny block with teeny-tiny pieces!!! It's the first in a series of several cute basket blocks.

Cross and Crown

Cross and Crown, 10"

I like the blue plaid in this fabric group, but the pink stripe is pretty overwhelming. I'm curious to see how some of these combos will settle themselves into cohesive quilts. I have them plotted out on graph paper, but real life may turn out to be a different thing than the plans I've drawn :)

Vermont

All I can say about this one is: t*r*i*a*n*g*l*e*s.

Vase of Flowers

Vase of Flowers, 12"

Whoops! That background piece is wrong side out -- I didn't notice until I was taking the photo. It's going to stay that way, it'll be my humility patch :)

Bird of Paradise

Bird of Paradise, 12"

This block could work nicely as a springtime/tulip quilt.

Weathervane

Weathervane, 12"

Another new color combo. One of my goals in doing the B-a-D challenge is to consume as much as possible of the old, no-longer-my-style fabrics that have been hibernating in my stash. I'm determined not to purchase any new fabrics at all for this challenge. But as you can see, I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel for some of these color sets: I'm about out of pastel pinks and blues, so this combo is going to be "quirky."
