2019 Monthly Color Challenge

I enjoy the 2019 Monthly Color Challenge hosted by Jen. The block comes out promptly on the first of the month, and I look forward to it. This month’s color is red.

2019 Monthly Color Challenge - October's color is red, and this is my scrappy block for this quilt along hosted by Patterns by Jen - piecefulthoughts.com

In keeping with the psychedelic blocks (according to BigJ), I thought these two fabrics would be a good fit. I was thinking I was pretty smart and sassy when I made the HSTs and would have the direction all flowing correctly. Oops. Not enough fabric to fix, so we’ll just call it more psychedelic.

I made a gallery of the other nine blocks, because I wanted to see them all together, so I thought I’d share that with you too.

Row 1 (from left): January, February, March; Row 2: April, May, June; Row 3: July, August, September.

I think the psychedelic idea came from this block, February’s pink. I used some fun fabric, but it really made a crazy block!

I’m starting to think about the final design for these 2019 Monthly Color Challenge blocks. Should I use a dark sashing? Grey? I think it will be fun to play with some ideas! .

What have you been working on this week?
