I’ve known for months our hall bathroom needed a wall
hanging. None of the little quilts I’ve made so far seemed to belong there. So,
I set to work making a new one. I pulled every bit of green cotton I could find
out of my stash – civil war prints, 1930’s feed sacks, solids and batiks – and started
hacking away. I meant to use 100 different scraps, but once I lined everything
up on the design wall, I discovered two sets of matching blocks. I refused to head back to the quilt store over a pair of 3” blocks, but I knew if I finished
the top as is, those matching sets would bug me FOREVER. I was at an impasse. Then
my 2024 Riley Blake Designs Block Challenge kit arrived in the mail, with two
colors I didn’t yet own: Lime and Emerald City. Just like that, I’m back in
business.
