Mother’s Choice Quilt Block Part 2

Posted on June 8, 2018 | 8 comments

In this blogpost, I showed a few straight set quilt designs using the Mother’s Choice Quilt Block.

I also played with the block using an on point setting.

The same block set on point with no sashing or alternate blocks:

I don’t like the above design at all. However, I do like the blocks set with sashing and cornerstones:

And I like the block set with plain setting triangles; they frame the design:

Maybe I would like this one better in a different colorway, or with some alternate blocks to play with:

I like the center of this one (and it doesn’t look set on point, but it is):

Also set on point, but looks like a straight set:

Which design appeals to you? Or would you create a different one? There are lots of possibilities!

Happy quilting!

The Rainbow Scrap colors for May are rose and pink.

I am having fun participating in the Squared Away Sampler project. Here are my three 5″ unfinished Baton Rouge blocks:

On the design wall are all of my blocks for the Squared Away Sampler:

I will be linking up with So Scrappy. Check out the link and see what others have done with pink and rose this month!

If you would like to participate in the RSC18 Squared Away Sampler project, click on the link to read all about it. You can also visit The Academic Quilter for great tutorials on making the blocks. No need to make the 5″ block size that I am making. Perhaps you want to make a 20″ block or something in between!

Learn about a variety of blocks, use those scraps and have fun!

Here is what else I have been working on:
