Late last year, I bought a fat quarter bundle of Alison Glass's wonderful collection, Clover Sunshine. I happened to set it down next to a bundle of Oakshott Italy fabrics, and I realised that they are both quite greyed out and I thought they would look interesting together.
I've started making these wonky cross blocks and I love them (I still need to square them up). I haven't decided exactly what I'm going to do with these blocks. Of course, I could just stitch them together to make a very bright and vibrant quilt. Sashing, or negative space so it looks like they're floating is another option.
What are you working on this week?

This is lovely! I just finished my own wonky cross quilt...
Looks good Adrianne - some lovely colours in those blocks.
These look really awesome! I am working on a QAYG Aeroplane Bag :)
Those blocks are yummy!! I'm working on a scrappy bargello :)
Hey - this looks like a fun project. The criss-crosses make it really interesting.
love the cross blocks. those oakshots work perfectly with the fabric
The blocks look fabulous. Can't wait to see how you finish it up.
I love this line so much and your blocks do a great job of showing off the pretty fabric! I am looking forward to seeing what you do with them!
I love the colors in this! Can't wait to see how you put it all together.
Lovely! I've never seen that fabric line before, but I'll be looking for it now. In terms of putting them together, I'd be tempted to use some of the fabrics from the crosses to create areas for the blocks to float in. The prints are so vibrant, I would want them to stand out. But that's just me! ☺
Your wonky crosses look wonderful with the Oakshotts.
Looking stunning! Linda
They look really great. Never would have thought, that These lots of Colors could fit so great. Love them. I will finish my NY BEauty quilt this Weekend :)
These look fabulous together! I have yet to make some of these
Nice combination, I want to make wonky crosses one day too.
Lovely cross blocks!
Oh yeah, that happens to me a lot actually! Put fabric too close together and it practically sews itself. :)
Love those blocks. Clover Sunshine is one of my favorite collections!
