Pebble Pop blocks - an update


And now there are 20 blocks!   (My design wall has seen better days.  I need to figure out how to refresh it so it does a better job!)

At the end of September, I took a virtual workshop from Daisy (@warmfolk) to make blocks for her Pebble Block quilt.  (You can read more about that class here.)  

I am really into using up my scraps and had such fun putting these blocks together using various scraps of 'whites' I had leftover from other projects along with scraps of gray and a few gray FQs too.

Each of these blocks are 9 1/2 '' square.   These 20 blocks would make a quilt 36'' x 45'' which really isn't big enough for a throw.  And, no surprise here, I still have scraps of gray leftover!


Next step is to upsize these blocks into 12 1/2'' square by surrounding them with scraps of gray of various widths so that the resulting circles are offset differently in each block.

And I just might throw in a little strip of color here and there for an extra bit of pizzazz! 

You can clearly see that I used different scraps of white / cream in making this blocks.  I'll be distributing them all around the quilt in the final layout.

Can't wait to see how this one comes out!

Have a wonderful day! Patty
