January Quilt Block Remix Challenge- Sneak Peek #2

January 22, 2024January 21, 2024 Post a comment

Hi friends!

It’s time for snack peek #2 of the January Quilt Block Remix challenge!

The original block

In post #1, I shared the original block and the fabrics I planned to use- you can see that here.

Last week was post #2- where I revealed a potential remix idea. Click here to see more on that.

Now we are up to the second sneak peek!

January Sneak Peek #2

I wasn’t 100% on board with the changes I had made. I didn’t really like the secondary pattern the block created so my next thought was, what if each side of the block was a different color?

Hmmm….

So I added HST units to be able to separate the sides and recolored. Fun!

Kind of a funky, more modern center to the block.

Next question: what does it look like in my batiks?

Not bad.

As a quilt?

Much better!! More movement and a better secondary pattern. So, should I stop here? I could but I have one more week to keep playing and remixing… we’ll see what happens!

Would you stop here??

See you next week for the big block remix reveal!

happy quilting,

Kate
