Back in February, the poster for the Riley Blake Designs
Block Challenge promised sixteen block patterns, each designed by a different
artist. They’ve saved my two favorites, Lori Holt and Christopher Thompson, for
the very end. I share Christopher’s passion for all things blue and white, and
I’ve been a fan of Lori’s work for many years. The poster also said the final
quilt design would be a surprise. I look at the finished blocks and the leftover
fabric, and still can’t begin to imagine how it will come together. I’ve
inserted a few blocks of my own design, partly to entertain myself, and partly
to give myself more options. I may substitute one or two if an original block
seems out of place. I might use them to make a larger finished quilt. Or I could save them for a sampler of my own. Either way, I’m enjoying the process. And I
enjoy my own blocks most of all.
