I gathered lots of novelty fabrics with animals and birds and other prints that a small child would recognize.

Fifteen designers released one modern quilt block each. During the month I managed to sew all the blocks, it was a great skill builder with curves, applique, foundation paper piecing, HRTs and inset circles.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1mR9iBf90_xmcPYs1w0PEUIRErmelqO3N3xJn2z1sVTtecN2E0QXUuooo3qpOQQaVxEloUMJhCfqOv5-Vemj4yw1yFjdAI2-y1g32NCCS0dm6OqBiVYIGEegGSQqia2JEVDeOS4-kL0_h4IGKwyCgfJ85hteecNtCrd9ja09rdABsNYfwUUKHv3CJ/s3797/WIL_1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3119" data-original-width="3797" height="526" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1mR9iBf90_xmcPYs1w0PEUIRErmelqO3N3xJn2z1sVTtecN2E0QXUuooo3qpOQQaVxEloUMJhCfqOv5-Vemj4yw1yFjdAI2-y1g32NCCS0dm6OqBiVYIGEegGSQqia2JEVDeOS4-kL0_h4IGKwyCgfJ85hteecNtCrd9ja09rdABsNYfwUUKHv3CJ/w640-h526/WIL_1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p>Fifteen blocks were not enough for a decent sized quilt, in my mind. One of the blocks, Grow Wild by Brooke of Eudaimonia Studio, is a HRT block where you actually make two blocks at a time. Then I had sixteen.</p><p>I found a multicolored print in my stash and that gave me three 12.5" blocks and a few leftover pieces. From the remnants I pieced the background of the block, added the circle that was cut out from another block when making an inset circle, and put in inset narrow strips after a tutorial from Hillary of @entropyalwayswins. My improvised block looks like a planet in space! You can see it in the bottom row of the quilt.</p><p>I love taking pictures in natural light, so when there was a pause between the snow showers I got a photo shoot on my snow covered deck.
