X, PLUS, AND COMMA

This past week some new Moda fabric came into the shop. I had ordered a fat eighth bundle of Comma by Zen Chic. It is as gorgeous as I had hoped. So much possibility here.


After seeing so many inspiring quilts made from the x and + block, I knew that's what I wanted to do.
I've made them before, but smaller, or for a swap that I sent away. These will be aaaaall mine : )



So fast and easy to make. This would be a great guys quilt I think. If you have a moment, pop over to Linda's blog and take a look at what she did with her Comma bundle.

I am hoping to have a finished top to show you in a few days. Until then, happy stitching.

    Fantastic x & + blocks! I did some for a swap too, and the ones I received are sitting in a bin waiting for me to do more!

    I love those blocks. I have three I made a while back but they're all scrappy. I like the idea of using one line. Yours will be interesting to watch come together, Carla! Looking forward to seeing them.

    wow I love your blocks and your choice of colour, I've seen that combo this week in another block and it's very striking. How nice that you get to keep this one, I'm planning a quilt just for me too!

    I am always very interested to see how you use fabrics and your choice of blocks. These grey & black & an accent colour are really exciting. I can't wait to see the finished top. Philippa xx

    Oh, now that fabric = yummy! I haven't attempted the block but it looks really interesting, Carla. You'e right, the color combo with this block does look like it would make a great guy quilt, and they need quilts, too!
