The other day I talked about some fabric I bought<\/a> and the pattern I was considering for the project.<\/p>\n

Despite my determination, I wasn’t 100% sold on the pattern I mentioned. I went back to the box of patterns, blocks, etc and looked through the rest of it to make sure I didn’t find a pattern or idea I liked better.<\/p>\n

I found a few that I thought were more interesting or had some promise.<\/p>\n

\"Japanese<\/a>
Japanese Circle Block<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My top contender for the moment is a block I found in a Japanese magazine. Because I do not read Japanese and I ripped out the page at some point, I don’t know which magazine or issue.<\/p>\n

As you can see from above, the block breaks down into Flying Geese and Peaky & Spikes as well as some strange pentagon shape.<\/p>\n

The page showed a number of different blocks both in outline format and in black and white, but with fabrics. The example shows four blocks together as well.<\/p>\n

\"Block<\/a>

The four blocks together is what caught my attention as I looked through the box. The black and white fabric image makes it look like there is a circle going on.<\/p>\n

One of the trends I saw in the box was a lot of blocks with curves or either implied curves.<\/p>\n

\"Elements<\/a>
Elements Quilt Layout<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I drew up the block in EQ8 and made a quilt from the drawing, so you can get an idea of what my version of the quilt will look like.<\/p>\n

I don’t know if I get the full effect from the drawing of the circles, but I see it a little bit.<\/p>\n

I used the colors from below to create the quilt example (left). I think I have more colors and fabrics, so the example is not reflective of what the quilt will look like.<\/p>\n

\"Home<\/a>
Home magazine color inspiration<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I also found an inspiration page from a home magazine that I ripped out at some point. With a couple of exceptions it mimics the colors in the fat quarter pack<\/a> I bought and plan to use in this project. I intended to add some turquoise, but may also add a mustard-like color as the inspiration suggests.<\/p>\n
