I was excited to assemble my Kinship blocks to see if my master color plan worked. The Kinship QAL is this year's #100Days100Blocks2019 QAL hosted by Angie at GnomeAngel.
I am very happy with this!
In total, I made 13 blocks. The patterns has blocks that finish 4'' and 8'' which gives you the opportunity to play and create your own layout. My quilt measures 24'' square.
I created my color plan ahead of time by redrawing the 13 blocks in EQ7 so I could play with layout and color.
As you can see, I deviated a bit from my original plan. After all the blocks were made, colors mapping to my plan, I really didn't like the color balance of the blocks in the lower right corner. So I remade them, retaining just a little bit of the purple.
I want to continue to experiment with quilting and am planning a combination of hand quilting and machine quilting.
This year's event is based on a pattern called Kinship 100 Block Fusion Sampler written by GnomeAngel and Skyberries. I highly recommend this pattern - the blocks are fun, usual, and the instructions are very well written. More information here on the overall QAL page.) (affiliate link)
Have a wonderful day!

Oh Patty I love your quilt top and layout. It is fun to see everyone's layout and block choices.
