Block 2 is completed, This block, Sparkle and Shine, was designed by Beverly McCollough of Flamingo Toes.
I love the block pattern. Like the previous block it uses half square triangles and stitch and flip corners. It’s all about the right combination of pieces to create a stunning block. Not to brag but I feel I did a decent job of matching all the points.
However, the one thing I dislike is the colors in the center of the block. I am considering re-doing this block with a different color combination. But, I think I will wait to the end and make sure there is enough fabric. One thing about this quilt along is even though they tell you how much fabric you need, they do not give cutting instructions. This means I am not able to cut the fabric efficiently, I would hate to run short.
The pattern for block 3 was released this week. I am already running behind on the quilt-along, but since there will not be a block the last week of the month, I will be able to catch up.
Until next time, I’ll be taking it one stitch at a time.
