Checkerboard Star

 

Today’s block is the last in the Riley Blake Designs 2021 Block Challenge. After more than four months of wondering and guessing about the finished quilt, I’ve finally seen the setting pattern. It’s meant to be a square quilt, about 62” on each side. Between the sixteen blocks are triple sashing in cream and curry, with irregular chive, curry and cream nine-patches as the cornerstones. When I bought this fabric in February, the shop had run out of the cream-colored solid. I was eager to get started on my blocks, and didn’t want to wait until new bolts came in. As a result, my blocks all have white backgrounds. But I’m still a bit puzzled. Even with all the “extra” blocks I’ve made, I still have lots of leftover fabric that isn’t chive, curry or white. I'm not sure what my finished quilt will look like, but I do know this: it will be absolutely unique.
