Block 5, 6 and 7

It's hard to believe there are only 5 blocks to go in this years Fat Quarter Shop Designer Mystery Quilt. I put block 7 together yesterday then dragged out block 5 and 6 for a photo shoot.

As much as I LOVE Avalon I struggle with the really dark blues. The centre square in each block is supposed to be navy blue but I have substituted other fabrics from the range.

Block 5 - Stargazing by Vanessa Christenson



Block 6 - Sparklers  by Kate Spain


Block 7 - Lemon Lodge by Lisa Bonegan



I hope everyone had a great weekend and found some time for some stitching. I'm still working on Swoon. All the blocks are sewn and I'm ready to start assembling the quilt. Exciting.

    The blocks are lovely Christine. I agree about the blue. I haven't used it any of my quilting - I made a zippy purse with some of it. I feel the same about the blue in B&C latest lines. I love blue but find it very difficult to use in patchwork.

    I love the navy dot in the blocks, and the way it ties the blocks together. I do enjoy the way you change it to suit your taste though.
