Another new thing with my quilt guild, now that I've started back going, is that they do a quilt block raffle every other month. My understanding is that every block you make counts as a chance for winning all the blocks (sometimes half the blocks if there are a lot?). Everyone uses that same pattern, but the fabrics are all individual and therefore different.
I made this block for next month's raffle. It is made from left over Kansas Troubles fabrics that I had in my stash. I tried to focus mostly on red fabrics for the darker patches, and yellowed creams for the lighter patches to make a cohesive looking block. The block measures 16-1/2 inches square.
The problem is that I really like the block, so I'm not sure I want to enter it in the raffle. Maybe I want to keep it and make more blocks to go with it. I could make a really pretty quilt for the back of my loveseat. Maybe I want to make a block with totally different fabrics, that I don't like as well, to enter in the raffle. I guess I need to decide.
