Have I ever mentioned that I love Amy Gibson from Stitchery, Dickery, Dock? She is so encouraging! She's doing a Sugar Block of the Month this year, but I picked up Crafty's 2012 BOM by Amy to do earlier this year. Can I just tell you how much fun it is? I'm really excited because she leads the viewer through all kinds of blocks, including a few I've not had the courage to try on my own.
Amy has also published a book, The Quilt Block Cookbook, that I'd love to have! Go to her site and follow her Quilt Block Cookbook Blog Hop to see why.
That was a long preamble to say that I've finally made the third block in the Craftsy 2012 BOM. I've been concerned because my first block was made from cool colors and my second from warm (hot) colors. My third block, the Balkan Puzzle block, married both color schemes together.
The first one, the Asterisk block, is in cool tones; the second, the Wonky Pound Sign, is rather hot; and the bottom one is the Balkan Puzzle. I'm very happy with it! The bright orange is a print although that doesn't show up as well.
