That is the name of this quilt, a signature block challenge. Use 17- 2” signature blocks and make something from them. Blocks were made by members of the Sew Crafty Quilters from Many, LA. I used the blocks for the centers of larger blocks, to make a quilt that is about 32” square. (You can click on photos and get a better view of the details.)
Zoe, the quilt model, assisted me in taking photos. The wind was blowing non-stop, so please overlook the weird angle on the quilt! She was a big help. (NOT!!)
The colors are very washed out in the photos. The colored fabric is a very bright hand-painted fabric that I did.
Machine quilting with brightly variegated thread shows well in the black areas.
Seventeen blocks… odd number of blocks to work into a quilt! I used 16 on the front and made my block into the label for the quilt. The yellow/orange/ red fabric on the back is something I dyed in a class several years ago.
This quilt is currently hanging in the quilt show at Rebel State Park, Marthaville, LA. The show will hang for the month of February. They are open Tuesday through Saturday, 9-5. Ya’ll come!
I will be giving 2 quilting talks/lessons on Saturday, February 25th starting at 10:00AM. Please come if you can!

What a great way to use the signature blocks to make an attractive quilt.
