Pat Sloan Blogger's Block of the Month catch up

It's Blogger BOM time.. and here is my APRIL block

Visit AMY for the pattern

And my MAY Block

Visit Cathy for the directions

And the whole family!

I am making this quilt from one layer cake and some added yardage of the red with numbers and the black polka dot.

Now that I have this many blocks I'm really starting to foucs on color placement for the blocks. I want to be sure to sprinkle in Green, but not too much.. and some of the reds and tans are gone.

Also I'm starting to think about a setting. Jackie is going to give us one so I am waiting to see it.. but I may want a larger quilt. Lap size as I have in mind a person to give this to.

How would you make it larger?

Would you repeat blocks? Add new blocks in? 

Make a medallion setting?

PS - There is a category on the right side called Bloggers Block of the Month where each of these posts are grouped.

Your blocks really work well together. I'm not excited about mine. I am behind right now and will catch up when school is out!

They are really looking great together! I do love blocks on point. Maybe on point & a medallion. Can't wait to see what it grows into.

Love your blocks! I just got caught up myself! Will post tomorrow... (by the way... going to P.O. now, so keep your eyes peeled)

Love these blocks. Yes I was going to suggest setting them on point with a solid. Or adding sashing and a wide border. You could also group the blocks in sets of 4 then add sashing and/or border. I know you will come up with something amazing and fun!! You've almost convinced me to start another sampler quilt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL

Setting them on point will make for a larger sized quilt. I love the typewriter letters!
