Block of the Month

I signed up recently for the Two Chicks Quilt Shop block of the month. They had posted this ad on Facebook. 

I prepaid for everything and was able to pick mine up on Saturday. It has all the fabric and the instructions. 

The solid black is the background fabric. There’s supposed to be a monthly tutorial on Facebook, but it got delayed this month, and unfortunately, the instructions don’t tell you enough information. I already have 2-1/2 yards of that border print in my stash. 

I’m a sucker for a good border print, and I will buy a couple of yards of any that I like. They make great borders for panels! I was anxious to get started, and wondered what would happen in I used my border print with only two colors plus a black background. I bought two yards of this print about a year ago, but didn’t have anything in mind to use it for. 

I decided on turquoise and lime green for my other two colors. I pulled out some things I thought would work.

I ended up deciding on the two darker ones. I decided I would do my own thing using their twelve blocks and my fabrics and see what happens. I am interested to see if I like my version better or the Two Chicks version better. Here’s my first block:

Once they post the video tutorial, I will make that one with their fabrics.
