On my design wall – 2013.06.17

Tonight is the monthly meeting of the Vancouver MQG – and also our 3rd anniversary party!  We also have a block challenge that was announced last month, due this month.  It’s a modern take on the disappearing 9-patch block.   We’re using 5 inch squares and each block will be made from 4 scrappy-bright squares and 5 solid black squares – each block with a different layout.
So this afternoon, I pulled out some black fabric and several printed charm squares with black in them.  I made 3 blocks, then sliced each into quarters.  I rearranged them on my design wall, just to see what they would look like – pretty cool.

I’ll take them to the meeting tonight, and hopefully I’ll win a few of these in the block lottery.  Wish me luck!
