ReplyDeleteI would choose FRACTURED ROSES pattern. Your block Tropical Flags is in very nice bright color, what I like.
ReplyDeleteHi! Took alot of biology type classes in college so the DNA wall hanging was a hoot!

Amazing block! :)

Robin,
ReplyDeleteHello again! I just love the variations you did on your block, plus the secondary designs on both quilt ideas. I'm just stopping by to say "hello". Don't enter me in the giveaway, I'm on the tour, too. Have a super day!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting your design into Volume 6! I am completely in love with your LAS FLORES de AMIGAS
ReplyDeletepattern! It is very special.
I really like the secondary pattern that shows up in the Tropical (or Bluebells)pattern --- was confused by the placement of the names. It is always a "punch" to see the variations that can be achieved with change of fabric or placement --- thanks for showing some ideas.
ReplyDeleteI love your baby block pillow!
ReplyDeleteYour block is so vibrant and happy!! I LOVE it! The 2nd setting is just to die for! I definitely will be making your quilt because it is just beautiful! LAS FLORES de AMIGAS is my favorite pattern! Love it!! Can't wait to get my hands on Volume 6 so I can get started sewing!!

ReplyDeleteGreat block. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove the movement in your Tropical Flags block. Awesome block.
ReplyDeleteYou have some beautiful patterns on your site. I have a problem if I am lucky enough to be chosen because I have a friend who is very proud of her heritage so much so, that her wedding ring is the Claddagh. Your pattern would be the perfect gift for her.
BUT, the Garden of LaMancha would be perfect for my MIL because she is so very much like my own mother who is now gone and has a beautiful flower garden. That wall hanging would be something she would just love.
I guess if I'm lucky I'll have to choose at that time. LOL
