A Quilt for Me...Part Deux

I am having a blast working on my North Market quilt. Since I want every block to be different, I've been able to let the creative juices flow.

Working free form and without steps to follow is a stretch for me which, to paraphrase Martha, is a good thing.

Here are my blocks so far...

This one follows the steps I've outlined before regarding the selvage block technique. It didn't work out exactly as I initially planned, but I told myself to go with the flow and voila!

  

I'm very happy with the result.

 

Here's my wonky Ohio Star. There was an article in the Summer edition of Modern Quilts

Unlimited. And after i was done, I realized it's the first time I've made one (on purpose that is!).


This one was kind of fun. I had to go through my stash for fabrice that went with the ocre kind of color of the t-shirt.
 

Similar colors on this next one. I thought that since I'm planning on putting them on opposite sides of the quilt, it might help tie the things together. I was very pleased that both the yellow and orange fabrics have a circle motif.


Wasn't sure what I had in my stash to go with the wine color in this t-shirt. This one has a little checkerboard quarter inch border and then the outside border is from Valori Wells' new Quill collection.
