My blocks are very scrappy. They'll be swapped with 11 others, so it will become even MORE scrappy. I randomly laid them out on the floor to photograph. If this were my final quilt top, I'd definitely rearrange the reds and blacks to be more random throughout the top. In the grayscale photo, the darks are perhaps more obvious, a good technique to use when deciding on block/design placement.
Meeting another Quilting Blogger: Cynthia Brunz
I'm also looking forward to meeting Cynthia Brunz of
Quilting is More Fun Than Housework today at the Pioneer Quilters Show at our local historical museum. She'll be sharing her experience and insights on "Social Networking for the Quilter."
Linking up with you and others at these other sites as well:

I am making bow tie blocks for scrap busting this year so it's fun to see yours all laid out. I like using gray scale too so I can spread those attention getters around! You are going to have a very pretty quilt.
ReplyDeleteHi Deb, thanks for stopping by. I keep forgetting to use grayscale myself. This was a rare moment, LOL.
DeleteI LOVE scrappy quilts. What a great idea to use the black and white photo. I will have to do that!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you stopped by & found a tip to use. Happy scrapping!
DeleteWhat a fun block for a swap! And thanks for sharing your grayscale. It really is helpful--and I always forget to use that technique.
ReplyDeleteHi, I always forget to use grayscale, too. It will be interesting to see what transpires when we swap all the blocks.
DeleteGreat to meet you in person today Julie! Thanks for sharing your blocks with Oh Scrap and sharing your wonderful grayscale tip.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I could come to your presentation. I got some tips & I appreciate it. I love your longarm-ing!! So pretty when you get to see it "live."
