What happens when a group of quilt pattern designers start talking?
Quilt blocks happen, that’s what!
A group of us decided to have a little fun and so this is what’s up…. We are offering free quilt blocks each month, each with a different theme. I’m participating in July’s collection of SUMMER FUN blocks with this fun Angel Fish Block.
Each block finishes at 12″ square.
We were challenged to design around a color story. Each block uses these colors so you can combine the blocks to make a quilt that is cohesive.
These are the chosen colors for the July Summer Fun collection of blocks:

I had a little fun sewing up the block with some similar colors in my stash:

And in another sample, I tried some other fabrics to see what it looked like in a different color scheme:

I love how the on-point squares make fun scales for the fish! Such a fun block!
Thank you Carolina!

So glad to hear that! Thanks for stopping to check it out 🙂
Wow, that’s a great summer fish! By himself, with other fish, or with other summer blocks, this will be fun. Thank you!

I love animlas blocks, and this look great!
I can see pillows using my obsession of batiks for this one.
Yes, follow that obsession-sounds perfect!!
