Expansion blocks!
How exciting, how exciting! Many of you have embarked on a intentional year-long journey in my Positivities block-of-the-month club. Our January block is Expansion. It’s been a small, but strong beginning with gorgeous and unique blocks popping up all over Instagram! Today I share a smattering of Expansion blocks that caught my eye in celebration!!
“The first block is done on my #PositivitiesQuilt by @stitchedincolor and I’m in love with the direction it’s headed ✨”
“It’s WAY too hot outside today so I’ve taken full advantage of the AC and have made a start on my Positivities Quilt 💕
This is the ‘Expansion’ block for January.
A fab block to start with! I’ve had lots of fun playing around with colour, value and different patchwork techniques! ”
“#positivitiesquilt January block: Expansion. The colors in these photos are a little off—the orange is more of a melon IRL and it’s all so pretty together. Also, today I learned that my 1/4” foot is NOT a true 1/4”. So that was fun. 😖 Lots of seam ripping! But…”a smooth sea never made a skilled sailor”, right? 😉😌”
“The plan is 100% print fabrics, all Halloween themed. I probably have the most purple and orange, but also have a good smattering of blues, yellowy/golds, green, and pinks. For the background, I’m planning to use all black prints, mostly black on black but a few with a bit more color.
I’m absolutely smitten with Rachel’s @stitchedincolor design and I think it’s going to feel like a long wait for the next part of the pattern in February!!”
“Une version chouette #positivitiesquilt #stitchedincolor”
“Positivities is off to an exciting start. FPP is my kryptonite but they do look great.. All fabric from my stash.”
It’s nice to see both familiar and new faces popping up in the Instagram hashtag #PositivitiesQuilt.
Welcome, welcome everyone and here’s to a positive 2024!
