Another Fabulous Fan Block

Today I finally finished my block for Cobi in our Fabulous Fans DYB Round Robin. I absolutely loved her colors as they really speak to me - I love working with rich, warm palettes. But for some reason my brain, such as it is, has had creative block and I struggled with this. When you see the other incredible blocks that came before mine, you'll see why. So, here is the block I completed.


And here are all four blocks pinned together so you can get an idea of how they look as a grouping. Cobi had them pre-numbered, so this is how they fit together so far by number. The top left one was done by Leslie, top right is mine, bottom left was done by Jo, and the bottom right one by Bonnie W.

Fabulous Fan Block Finished

This block is for Jo as part of our "Fabulous Fans" round robin in Crazy Quilting International (a Yahoo group). This is a "DYB" or "Do Your Block" round robin. Each participant makes 6 blocks (6x6") and sends them around in order. When they come to you, you pick one of the blocks and embellish it in its entirety according to the wishes/instructions of the owner. When the blocks have made the round, they come back to their owner fully embellished and ready to be made into a wallhanging or whatever.

This, then is my block for Jo. It was sure a lot of fun! And now I'm on to a peacock-themed block for the next Round Robin.
