Retro Flower Quilt Along - Progress!

Once I figured out the fabrics and cut all the pieces, this quilt progressed pretty quickly.  I sewed the Drunkard's Path blocks without pinning, so they're done.  Now I'm just trimming the blocks and putting them together.  Here are the completed blocks so far:


I'm really pleased with the green background.  It frames the flower petals very well.  Sometimes it's worth it to step out of your comfort zone. :)

The only problem now is that I only had enough green fabric to make 12 blocks, and I think this quilt will look better as a square.  Hope the quilt store has some fabric left with the same dyelot....

    I really like the green background! Only a few of us used anything but white or cream. I used red....

    That looks great -- the green does make it feel very retro! :)

    stepping outside the box can be worth the risk - it certainly paid off here for you. Love them.
