It used the same white background that has been in all of the other blocks. I was able to use fabric from former blocks and didn't need to cut into the white fat quarter included in this month's fabric packet.
This block was a quick sew. I didn't think to pay attention to the stripe orientation of the fabric in the inside corners or the outside corners. Oh well, does it really matter?

Very pretty! I didn't notice the stripe orientation until you mentioned it!
ReplyDeleteI like that block! Haha I never notice stripe orientation until I've sewn it up ;)
ReplyDeleteNow that is one adorable quilt block! Love the fabrics you are using . Well I wouldn't have noticed about the stripes at all. It is just adorable! Happy quilting, Gretchen. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty quilt block. I didn't notice the directional fabric until you mentioned it. The colors are muted enough, I think, that it isn't obvious.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that plaid matters at all. The fabric is so pretty, who notices? Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Great block! I think the stripe is better in different directions around the block --- gives it movement. If it didn't bother you while putting it together that meant it worked as it should!
ReplyDeleteThe fabrics are great in this block! I especially like the low volume pieces in the background
ReplyDeleteThe plaid colours are so subtle they aren't obviously going their different ways - and they are perfectly diagonal so I think they look good. I can't stand it when plaids, checks and stripes aren't lined up properly angle wise - that's a lot worse than having a selection of directions in my opinion. Elaine
ReplyDeleteLove the stripes in the corners.
ReplyDeletePretty block! Great fabric choices. . .stripes can be placed any direction!
ReplyDeleteIf I think about it, I will orient stripes the same way but I won’t re-do any because really, stripes can go anyway, lol.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty block, and I love the way the stripes are looking. I read them as red and green prints, matching the other colors, their orientation is not noticeable. Thank you for sharing your work in progress and linking up!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful block in such pretty colours. I want to make one too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun block - and nope!! no directional problems at all ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty block!
