Yes, today’s block is exactly like yesterday’s, but with
different fabrics. Two months ago, when Quilt Etc. announced their new B.O.M.
series, they gave us three colorways to choose from: Christmas, Modern and Moda
Fig Tree. It was an easy decision. I was in no mood for red and green in
August. I’ve never been fond of the prints called “modern.” But I love
everything designed by Joanne Figueroa. I’ve already made two bed-sized quilts and
three baby quilts using her California Girl, Coney Island, Strawberry Fields,
Hazel and Plum and Ella and Ollie. So I started making Fig Tree blocks. But
now, as the days grow shorter and chillier, the red and green look so much more
charming than they did. And I haven’t made a Christmas quilt in a very long
time. There’s really only one thing to do. I’ll have to make two versions of
each quilt block until I come up with a clear favorite.
