My usual routine has been a bit altered this morning, but I needed to work out some design options....something similar to a wedding ring but with less parts and faster to complete. So I have been working out the options....
I am loving this cute little block....
this is a sample of the quilt
This design is not for me....but I am thinking I might really like to use it. The block is called Flowering Snowball :)
This block {above} was made a bit more "liberated" by piecing the fabric and then cutting out the oval/petal parts.....
I think it is a great little block especially for those new to curved piecing....very gentle curves that go together so smoothly. Yep, I am liking this block :)
And, I have decided on a background fabric for my NYB....
It is a periwinkle dot by Kaffe....
I have another great NYB block to work on and a couple of options for the arrangement that I need to nail down!
See you later!

Great block!
Wow, I would love to spend a week with you and learn all these cool techniques. I rely so heavily on patterns--I guess they call that lack of imagination...
Mary
I love that top block (oh, and the periwinkle dots in the bottom block too!). I would love to do the top block for my 3x6 block exchange. What size is your block?
I love what you are doing. Beautiful blocks. Hugs
Mary, I am wanting to make a quilt for paul and my's bed... I really like the idea of the wedding ring....and I like the idea of not taking as long as a normal wedding ring. Hmmm... Maybe I should just take another class :-P
Oh darn...now I DO need to visit and attend this class! That is a great block! But that tiny little square in the centre!!! WOW!
MMM I'm lovin' that flowering snowball! Very cute.
I just love how your fabric selection...these both are so great. Thanks for sharing!
The flowering snowball is a lovely block, and I love your piecing of the segments!
i wonder if you are going to be posting more progress about your flowering snowball design? a quilt a long maybe... you have to know i would be your very first so follow along!
i love the curves in your block. i must have missed these on the 3x6 bee block page. now i'll have to go look again.
Do you have any tips on how to put together the flowering snowball? I love the look of it. Did you make your own templates?
