Kathleen offered the option of using a block that starts with your initial. For me that would be a G. So I Googled "quilt blocks that start with G" and found the Geometry Block - along with a lot of others.
But, I thought "quilting is really a lot of geometry so I will use it."
But, I thought "quilting is really a lot of geometry so I will use it."
Confession: I hated geometry in high school, even though I loved spatial/3D puzzles.
I looked at my starting block and said "I think I want to use similar colors and for now anyway, I will stick with batiks." I also thought "I can die cut those pieces!" I cut them all using my Go! cutter and created this block:
Then I made three more of them. I will need to use fabric "spacers" to make it all fit, but it will work.
Are this blocks perfect? No way! But they are Finished and that is better.
Here are the four blocks laid over the central block so you can see that the colors are similar.
I am excited to see how this quilt comes together. Yes, I am eagerly awaiting the post that
tells us what to do for the next round.
I really like having choices within the framework of the round robin.
Until Next Time,
Stay Creative

All pretty blocks. Looking forward to seeing your finished quilt.
The squares do not need to be perfect. They just need to look right
I had to think a minute to see how those were constructed. Very cool block. The color palette is a winner too.
I'm so glad you are sewing along with us! Love your blocks, and cannot wait to see how this comes together!
Those blocks are simply magnificent, Gene. I have to remember to check my GO! cutter dies for options. I'm so loving the batiks!
Beautiful blocks, I love how big they are and how they make the center block even more subtle and delicate. I too am eagerly waiting for the next prompt to see how you will make the 2nd round! Thank you for sharing and linking up ;)
