Blocks for Boston

 

(l-r-t-b)

 1) Boston Hub Block

 

I will make this block again and would like to make a quilt with this block design. I will most likely simplify the block making the trapezoids one piece,an interesting dimensional fabric such as a strip or chevron.

 

2) Beyond the Wall Block

 

I will make this block again. 

No changes.

I am thinking to make a wall size mini-quilt in this design.

It would be really fun to quilt.

 

3) A Drop of Sunshine Block

 

I feel this was my least successful block, even after making improvements. It was a challenge to make this not look like either a pineapple or a pear.

In retrospect, I would make the drop smaller and the blue field larger and place the small drop in a slightly different place.  I almost took this one apart and remade it before I sent it, but decided it was time to call it done and get to the post office to mail.

 

4) Boston Roads Block

 

I will make this block again in a whole quilt design with construction changes.  It is added to "the queue" ... though not near the top of the list.

 

These blocks will be going in the mail today to
