Your Opinions Please..... Revised Summer in the Park

[JudyAnn]

Hello everyone....

I love Jenny's new tutorial "Revised Summer in the Park." I have some yardage that I want to use for this pattern instead of a pre-cut... but I'm wondering how it would look if I made all of my blocks the same instead of each one being a bit different. For some reason my imagination is not working, broken or just plain GONE. What do you think about all the blocks being the same?

Thanks and a Sunday hug

Personally I have no problem with them being all the same. But then again I'm usually not a scrappy look person. I'll make them but sometimes there aren't enough of the same value strips and to me the finally pieced top looks a bit imbalanced. (I'm a Libra ... wonder if that has anything to do with it?)

I was thinking the same thing! I was even wondering how the solid area would look in a print. Maybe draw it out with some colored pencils. I ordered fabrics and the quilt will only have four prints.

I think it would look great, a bit different but so what; I'm a bit conservative (boring would probably be more accurate) in tastes for my own quilt fabric choices. This is the one greatest joys I have here, we can all appreciate different tastes. I have seen absolutely gorgeous quilts and can appreciate them even if it is something I would not make myself. So if you want to try it, I say go for it!!!!

My Mom was a Libra..........some of it rubbed off on me! I've made the Summer in the Park quilt and I couldn't mix 'em all up! I had to balance colors on each side of the block so I had 2 sets of the same strip in each block. It only worked on the large blocks; the in between rows were mixed!

I think it would work out fine making all the blocks the same, but I'd use a narrow border around the whole quilt and a nice coordinating outside border. See? I can't get away from that Libra stuff either and I'm an Aires!

Sharyn, I'd love to see pictures of your quilt if you have any.

Thank you all so much. I'm off to cut the fabric... with a smile.

Seems like would look like squares in squares in squares. Here's one with two different blocks. Looks great. My "Summer in the Park" and use of left over scraps

i love TWO COLOR quilts, so I say to you for trying your Summer in the Park that way is a GREAT idea! Why not make ONE and see what you think.....surprise yourself! Make extras too just in case you'd like to make a purse, table runner, etc. YOU decide what is good for you - that is the beauty of our own quilting ideas. Good luck!
