Block 55 is another block made up of strong colours and tones which means there is more drama compared to the pastel blocks on the quilt. It forms part of the strong diagonal band of colour that runs across the quilt.
Over the next few weeks I will focus on each seam and embellishment and I hope the crazy quilters out there will enjoy seeing each close up.
Fabric content:

Oh my gosh…that’s amazing! 2001 items on the quilt. That will be spectacular when it is finished. What a great way to use up items on hand, and create something beautiful in the process.
