RSC Teal

It feels so good to be sewing again. I don't think I've gone 10 days without sewing in years!

 Here are the teal Modern Amish blocks I'm piecing for the
RSC. I didn't sew any of the blocks for February, I'm not going to add orange or yellow to this quilt.

 The middle teal is a green teal, the top and bottom blocks are blue/teal and they NOT the same fabric.

 It's interesting to see how the different shades of background gray makes the colored fabric look different. I've set the same colored fabric blocks next to each other.
Because I'm an impatient person and because this is going to be a Christmas present and because I want this quilt finished, I went ahead and sewed the purple blocks.

 The middle purple is a mulberry shade, the top and bottom purples are different shades of purple even though they look the same in the picture.

The original name of this pattern is Sound Check but I've renamed it Modern Amish. The pattern comes from McCalls Quilting magazine, March/April 2014 issue and was designed by John Kubiniec. I've done some revising and only need 36 blocks for my quilt. Original post from January. The blocks will finish 10" by 12".

    What a neat idea to play with color like this. I saw a quilt at QuiltCon a couple weeks ago that also used shades of gray to make colors look gradiated. So neat!

    Isn’t it interesting how colors change as you lay them next to each other or different colors. Teal is especially had to decide if it is blue, or aqua, or turquoise, or green!

    Wow, that is really interesting to see how the grey makes the same fabric look different. I love the modern Amish blocks.
