Virginia Bound Birthday Blocks

Now to show the birthday blocks made for the third birthday quilter with a birthday in October.

This new set of blocks is heading to the state of Virginia for Lynne.  The colors Lynne requested were black, red and white.  There have been several quilters participating in the Birthday Block Swap who have chosen this same color combination.

I actually made the same blocks that I made two sets ago....in the same color combination...BUT, the fabric/color placement is totally different which gives a completely different look to the blocks themselves.

First block is called Party of Four.....


Now....just to remind you what it looks like with the same fabrics (almost), but colors placed differently within the construction of the block.  Here is the same block design I made for Terri in New York City just a few weeks ago....


Don't they look like totally different block designs?  

Here is the second block I made for Lynne in Virginia...using The Learning Curve Ruler....


Again....just to remind you....here is the same block, using the same fabrics....just placed differently....


This is a prime example why I never grow tired of quilting!!!!

Before ending today's post....here is a photo of both of Lynne's blocks side by side....


Keep that sewing machine humming!
