I only used prints with aqua, black and white. I was a little hesitant to limit myself so much color-wise, especially when I'm planning to use so many fabrics throughout the blocks. But I figured that if I'm limiting myself to aquas in this block, I can use up my greens in another. Hopefully it doesn't backfire!
Heidi spaced her fabrics at 1/2" increments, but I alternated between 1/4" and 3/4".
I think it looks great with my first block! So excited for the rest of this series.

Chelsea at Pins and Bobbins has a great scrappy tutorial for us as well - but I'm working from a fresh set of fat quarters, so I'll have to wait till I accumulate some scraps to make this one.
Wow, you were quick off the mark with this one! I love your fabric choices, the black and white with the aqua looks amazing. Hoping to get to mine tomorrow (fingers crossed)!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice, has a really graphic quality with the strong black and white prints! : )
ReplyDeleteWow! Off to check out today's tutorials :o)
ReplyDeleteLookin' good!!
ReplyDeleteI really like how yours turned out with the alternately spaced strips. I might have to copy that for my block. :) Who knows - there are so many different possibilities! Did you end up sewing the strips down, like Heidi did?
