These are part of the blocks that I started at the Mini Retreat in August. The other blocks are exactly the opposite -- light where the dark is and dark where the light is. Those blocks are partially finished. I have not decided what will go in the setting triangles yet. Any suggestions? Maybe I'll wait to decide until I see the darker blocks on the design wall, too.
Here is a little closer look.
This is a really simple block and, though unusual for me, no triangles in it! My quilts almost always have half square triangles in them! Since the last quilt top was a log cabin, this is two in a row!
I love the chain that the darker squares form from block to block and the light ones in the dark blocks will add a lot to the complexity of the quilt.
I used a similar chain block in my quilt Redwood Forest that I showed you here. The chains in that case almost seem part of the tree block as the background fabric disappears and only the chain stands out. This is a wonderful block to use as an alternate block in a quilt. Hope you will try it in one of your quilts someday.
Our granddaughter is being married this coming Sunday so this will be a very busy week for us. Tomorrow and the next day I work and in the meantime, I have her dress here as it needs a small alteration made to it.
Hope you are having a fabulous, creative day!

Lovely quilt for fall with its brown and neutral colors. My mom would love it! She likes quilts, has quilted, and seems to always be buying another one now that she no longer quilts. Plus, she likes browns.
This sounds like a great product. Thanks for the review and bringing it to my attention. Chain Block
