Crossroads quiltalong Friendship block

I'm still playing along with the Fat Quarter Shop's Crossroads QAL, and still feeling motivated. Especially now I can see enough of the blocks together, to see that the colours and prints are going to look stunning together!You can see my first two blocks here and here. The next block they released didn't disappoint, and I love how my fabrics look in this design, reminiscent of the economy block.

Friendship block 01

I love how each of these echo some of the colours from the one before it. The greens on the left are in the middle fabric, and the pinky red strawberries in the centre block are echoed by the reddy pink cherries on the right. It all suits my design style just beautifully.My first block is the lovely cherries block, and is a Atsuko Matsuyama print for Lecien. Another thing I love is how the well the cream goes with the white background. Something a few years ago I would never have allowed. My tastes have definitely changed...

The next one is a vintage fabric that I've been hoarding for ages, and slowly using up. I had yardage of it, and now have only a half yard left or less :(. O well, I am being very brave and using it, as I would rather see it in a favourite quilt.

And the last block is quickly becoming a firm favourite. It's from Fabric Direct, and has no details on the selvedge, but is another tiny floral which just so classic.

I hope you enjoyed my blocks, and I'll try and do a mosaic of them all soon to show you what they all look like together.
