Are not these colors great? I love the pure color of the cut pieces. For the last couple of weeks I have been searching my stash, and cutting, fabrics that are bright colored fabrics. I cut all of these pieces today. A bee in which I participate exchanged these blocks in October. When I receive blocks from an exchange I enjoy looking at all the different fabrics in those blocks, of which many of those fabrics I do not own (believe it or not).
The number of blocks we exchanged would make a lap quilt. I want to make a twin bed size quilt, and I want to place these blocks on point. There is another block that goes with this four patch block. The instructions we received were for the two blocks only. I am now trying to figure out how many blocks I will need of each design to make a twin size quilt with the blocks on point. When the blocks are placed on point, there is a strong design line moving up and down the quilt. I love that vertical design element. When I look at the bright colored fabrics I smile. It makes me happy, happy, happy.
Hope you are all happy, happy, happy, too.
Happy Quilting

yes, those colors are great and it will be a very colorful and pretty quilt when you put it all together.
OH yes - always happy happy happy when I see a post from you. The colors are going to make a stunning quilt.
Love your blocks! Mine are still with Shari. :( Soon they will be here, I hope!
If it helps, here is the tutorial for that quilt. http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/2007/06/few-more-numbers-for-ya.html
She's got the numbers you need, I think. It's for a quilt that is 67.5" x 90". Good luck!
I'm going to make mine bigger too, but I'm going to set the blocks straight, as I prefer a diagonal movement on the quilt. I should be cutting more fabrics, but haven't started yet.
I like the zigzag piece of fabric. Looks very much "you".
