Rain, Rain Go Away

April is the eighth month in Quilts Etc.’s Nursery Rhyme B.O.M. class. All the blocks this year are five-patches, meaning their symmetry is based on a five-by-five grid. They’re all ten inches finished, so the math to build them is simple.  All fourteen blocks so far have been two-color blocks, with a white background and a dark print. But this month’s two blocks have three colors: white, a dark print, and a medium solid. Will future blocks in this series have three or more colors? I don’t know. If only two blocks are like this, they’ll stand out in the finished quilt like sore thumbs. So I tried them first as 12” blocks in Maywood Studios Graceful Moments prints. They’ll fit nicely with the twenty-four similar blocks I’ve already made. Will I also make the April blocks in the designated 1930’s prints? Oh, probably. I just don’t know what I’ll do with them when they’re finished.
