February Monthly Color Challenge Entry for Patterns by Jen 2020 Event

February Monthly Color Challenge Quilt Block

This month I have the honor of being one of Pattern by Jen’s featured bloggers for her quilt along. The February monthly color challenge is teal and is inspired by the Indigo bunting.

I don’t see these birds very often, but when I do I can’t miss them. Their vibrant teal blue color shines through the trees.

Surprisingly, while I love teal blue, I don’t have a lot of it in my fabric stash. As a result, since I’m limiting myself to only fabrics I have on hand for this challenge, I had to dig a bit to come up with these choices. I like the way they turned out.

February Monthly Color Challenge Quilt Block - Both Versions

This year Jen added options using the monthly color and black or white, so I decided to go with two versions of the block, the one with the colors and the one with the color and white.

While I love them both, I have to say I am loving the block with the white. It really makes the design pop. It looked great with my yellow January block last month too.

While I was assembling the block, I did notice that I had to be extra careful because of all of the points. I pinned quite a bit when I was piecing it. I also had to stay pretty organized because it was easy to sew them together in the wrong direction.

    Hi Claudia! Both of your blocks turned out great. I love the two color one because it seems to really highlight the teal fabric, but of course, so does the white. There really are great sponsors to which I’m very thankful. I also enjoy the secondary patterns created by the hourglass pieces, like the pinwheel in the center. Happy Wednesday to you. ~smile~ Roseanne
