Block One

Well I have completed all the compenents for block one for my Around the World (ATW) quilt. Most of the pieces are foundation pieced and I have enjoyed making them. I like foundation piecing when you only have to make a few of each piece.

Think that's why I haven't finished my Peace Quilt by Margaret Rolfe because you have to make about 195 blocks all the same, the only difference is the fabric colours, I have made about 60 so far. I have joined those together and it is looking amazing. I make a few blocks every now and again so it will get finished, maybe even this year!
Anyway, I like the way the block for the ATW quilt has turned out. There are 16 of block one around the quilt. Unfortunately the photo doesn't do it justice the colours are more alive although the background colour is dark but the greens have a real zing to them.
BTW Ali - the finished quilt is 208cm x 208cm (82" x 82") so it will fit a king sized bed!
