While perusing IG last week, I came across a number of progress shots of a Christmas snowflake block from @rachelwoodenspoon and I was downright smitten. Seriously, go check out her hashtags feed and you'll be smitten too (#christmassnowflakeblock).
Next thing I knew Lindsey from Thats What Lindsey Made (@thatswhatlindseymade) and I were both on board, starting an impromptu Christmas snowflake block QAL.
I chose to go a bit non-traditional and chose two shades of blue instead of red and green like Rachel. I think it adds a nice icy-ness to the block that I'm really loving.
Now I just need to choose a centre block colour (open to suggestions!) and between having the dark blue vertical or horizontal.
If you're interested in jumping in on an impromptu pillow yourself, Rachel has written a mini tutorial on her flickr page (found here).
Yes! Iciness, yes! Baby, it's cold outside!
ReplyDeleteLove this. I love whites and blues together and this just captures the essence of icy cold to me. Great WIP!
ReplyDeleteArgh, my comment vanished. Darn google. I love the blues, not being really into the red/green color scheme. Maybe teal or purple for the middle (if you're not using a blue)? I'm sure whatever you pick will be fab.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Definitely red for the center.
ReplyDeleteI love this and it gives me an idea of what to do with all the light blue squares I cut up this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteCool! Love the background fabrics too.
ReplyDeleteI love your colours Kelsey and I LOVE that you're making one of these! I want to make another one, I just need to decide between pink and lime green or blues like you! ;)

ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous Kelsey! Love the colours!, and being the bold and colourful person i am, i'd be putting a nice medium grey in the center... perfect!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I've been on the hunt for some interesting snowflake blocks too -- maybe a deep purple for the center square to keep that icy vibe? :)
ReplyDeleteI love this so much! Icy blues are so versatile and you can use the cushion all through the winter. Such a fun pattern! Now just for a few minutes to spare so I can try Rachel's pattern myself.
ReplyDeleteLove the blue for Christmas/winter stuff! Thanks for sharing about this pattern, I love it!
