SEWIALITES SEW ALONG, BLOCK 21 - free quilt along hosted by Fatquartershop. This block is called ZEST, brought to you by Brigitte Heitland. Fabrics used in this block are from the QUOTATION line by Zen Chic.
This week I have the honor of hosting the Sewcialites QAL. I designed a block called Zest and this block layout has a lot of options. You can make it with just 2 colors or you can go for the more scrappy look by using a different fabric for each small piece of the block. Keep it simple and modern or a little more extravagant. Do you already know what you are going for?
Visit me on Pinterest and get inspiration from the ideas on my boards, such as this 16’’ square Plus Block Pillow. I love the modern, graphic design of the plus signs, which goes perfectly with the fabrics from my QUOTATION line. Take a look at it!
