Yes, that tablecloth isi replaced the photo so you could see the crimson. Not sure what was going on with the lighting in the original photo.

I had just been to a baseball game when I was ready to do this prompt. Our team is in the top of the NL West, for today, at least. Perhaps this can be considered an homage?
For more information, see the original prompt.
Block-a-Long #4: Four Columns
This block, Four Columns, is suitable for 2 or 4 fabrics. When you cut the strips for the pieces, you can cut a full strip as you will use it for future blocks.
Note from the Management: Comment and let me know if you are working on this project and whether you would like it to continue.

Block-a-Long #3: Four Patch Columns
This is a slight variation of last week’s block, Four Patch Rectangle. It should be very quick to make. Four Patch Columns Instructions is suitable for two fabrics, though you would have to be creative. Four fabrics is better.
These are 6″ finished blocks.
The directions tell you simply how many pieces of which fabric to cut. The instructions use the fabrics I selected, so you will have to adjust if you are using two fabrics.
Enjoy!

Definition: a strong, bright, deep red color. It is originally the color of the dye produced from a scale insect, Kermes vermilio, but the name is now also used in general as a generic term for those slightly bluish-red colors that are between red and rose; besides crimson itself, these colors include carmine, raspberry, ruddy, ruby, amaranth, and cerise.

This was an easy response. Grid had to have a quilt in the response, right? I used some colors that I am going to use for a quilt int he near future.

Here is my response for the Creative prompt, Middle, which was posted on August 20, 2010. You can see the original prompt and join inthe fun.
SherriD’s response is really great. I agree with her comment that this was a hard one. I don’t always have an idea in mind when create a prompt. Sometimes I do and sometimes I can think of one during the week, but often I have to let the word simmer for awhile after it is posted.
Block-a-Long: Block #1: Four Patch
Ta-DA!
Here is the first block for the Block-a-Long. Four Patch #1 is an easy pattern – just 4 pieces. You can use four different fabrics, as I did or you can two. Select and place your fabrics according to any means your heart desires.

This is my response to the Heart prompt. I am doing a much better job of keeping up. I don’t want to get behind again! I am enjoying exploring more of the details of various aspects of the building.

Block-a-Long
I finally decided that I would commit to posting block designs and instructions so we could do a Block-a-Long. What is a Block-a-Long? It is a project to make blocks. Hopefully, they will turn into a quilt, but that is a project for another day.
The blocks pictured are some of the blocks that we will be doing. Each block is 6″ finished. I have designed 40 blocks so far. All of them, so far, are straight line sewing – squares and rectangles. There won’t be any curves in the project, but there may be some triangles.
I don’t plan to give you step by step instructions on how to put a block together, though in the blog post, I may give you some tips and tricks to help you along.
The directions will be from EQ7 and will include a picture of the block, what pieces to cut to make the block and that’s it. Of course, if you have questions, you can leave them in the comment field.
First task: go and choose your fabric. Choose some colors that you enjoy. Select a fat quarter pack you have been saving. Choose a theme such as dots or stripes. Go buy yourself some new fabric (FabricWorm has some great fat quarter and half yard packs that they have put together). Use some color combinations that you have always wanted to try.
I’ll wait about a week for you to gather your fabrics.
I selected my fabric a couple of months ago when TFQ was visiting. I am hoping to use each fabric 3 times in the quilt.
Yes, there are a lot of fabrics in my group. I want my quilt to be really scrappy. You don’t need to have this many. You can always add more later. This is a great project for scraps, so you could just pull fabrics out of your scrap bin. A two color quilt will work well, too, I think, though you may want to use different fabrics of the same colors
I know you have seen the blocks below before. These are some of the first blocks you will be doing. The point is not to make you miserable by posting difficult blocks to struggle through, but to have a little fun and, perhaps, work with color. Have fun!
