Marie is making a disappearing 9 patch for her grandmother and asked us to all contribute a block using reproduction prints...Im debating whether the black, although a 30's repro, sticks out a little too much...
the block finished at 12 inches...although the directions called for it to finish at 12.5...Marie gave us all a shout out to let us know the directions are in error and they should finish at 12...whew...i got her note about 10 minutes after finishing my block...luckily i was too busy taking a picture to think of measuring the block and then freaking out about the wrong size!
I think your block looks sweet. The black doesn't jump out at me. Plus, once it is added to everyone else's blocks it should blend right in.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Robin that the black is fine. I've made 2 disappearing nine patch quilts in the last month and I think the few colors that stand out make it so much better.
ReplyDeletei think i need to try one of those blocks, one of these days..........
ReplyDeleteback to painting. i'm procrastinating.
Love the reproduction prints. Leave the black, its a great contrast. Thanks for stopping by my blog too! Its good to meet you!
ReplyDeleteI think that 30s quilts need black and red to break up the "sweetness".
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a cutie!
