INTRODUCING a 12″ x 12″ block designed for the 2015 Fabri-Quilt New Block Blog Hop. It’s called SUBJECT TO CHANGE because you can easily move the pieces or change the fabric selection to create a subtle difference in each block.
We received SIX FAT EIGHTHS from Fabri-Quilt, called the Watermelon Summer Bundle, one of each of the following colors:
Coral, Aqua, Turquoise, Chartreuse, Lapis and White
Because I was able to make FIVE (5) [12 1/2 by 12 1/2 unfinished] blocks out of the SIX FAT EIGHTHS, I gave each of the blocks a name, representing each of the hosts of the Blog Hop: Stephanie, Cheryl, Terri Ann and Yvonne:
Once they are assembled you get a cool modern quilt. I turned each block so that the “four patches” were together in the middle:
Let’s Get Started:
TIPS:
You can cut the fat eighths into three strips: (2) 3″ wide by the length of each fat eighth and one (1) strip 2 1/2″ wide by the length of the fat eighth.
That’s it. I took some photos of the assembly of the blocks and marked them with letters. You can see how easy it is to CHANGE.
The Stephanie
The Terri Ann
The Cheryl
The Yvonne
With the scraps I made “fabric slabs” and cut the pieces according to the Cutting Instructions to create The Wanda:

your block looks really bright and vibrant, a real reflection of summer. A great idea to get more blocks out of your fabric. It has been a great summer blog hop hasn’t it?

What fun this looks like – a kind of improv – not! I love the names. Very cute.

I love that you made this a flexible block and named them after the hosts. Very cool and creative. This would be a great scrap buster quilt block.

I have to say that while I absolutely adore the Terri Ann the Wanda just takes the cake. With everything I’ve learned about you through your blog in the blog hop it seems totally you and I dig that 🙂 It’s wonderful how this same block can look so different by just swapping up the color ways!

Thanks, Terri Ann. I thought your block should have mostly blue shades. I’m glad The Wanda is “sew” me.

It’s hard to believe we’ve used so many different methods and arrangements to create original blocks. You’ve created such different looks here with simple components. Scrappy looking at first, but more fun when you see the units within each repeated. Thanks for sharing!
