This week brought another challenging block for my symmetry series. In the end I focused on working the symmetry only on the 2 walls. I like the block but may or may not include it in the final quilt. If it sticks out too much I will replace it.
The shibori block wasn't so bad. I like how it turned out.
This one had LOTS of pieces and
used lots of different fabrics.
You can get directions for making this block on Barbara Brackman's blog and you can see the other blocks in the Flickr group.
I like the shibori block too, and suspect the other will stand out a bit. You were brave even attempting that one!

I love the top block! So cool!

The top one is really stunning, but might be a bit much, but you never know till you set it in with the others, might just be a wonderful surprise. Love the second one too, beautiful shades and love the striations on the fabric.

I would love to live in that house! As much as I like the kaleidoscope quilts and blocks I'm not ready to take the time to do them. I love looking at them, though.
I like the shibori blocks because if I had any of it I would be too chicken to cut it up. Those fabrics add so much movement and texture to ordinary blocks.
