for Valerie

I had so much fun sewing these two blocks for Valerie.  They are a huge 14 inches.  I really enjoyed working within the constraints of the fabric  she sent.   Valerie's inspiration photos were comprised mainly of log cabin-y blocks and of blocks with a large center focal point so I sewed one of each.

This is the log cabin-y block using the courthouse steps pattern.  Here I juxtaposed the blues and browns against the pinks.

Since most of the fabric was already cut into strips, I chose to take advantage of the two fabrics that were square shaped and I pieced them into a 4 patch which I surrounded with more of the strips.  I ended up using nearly all of the fabric she sent and I added a few strips of my own. Oh, and did I mention how much fun I had piecing these!

I hope she likes them.
