Second Roseville Block
This block came together pretty quickly. For some reason the colours just looked right from the start. I have begun to assemble the fabrics for my third block, and this one is not behaving at all!!!
I love the centre fabric on this block. I decided early on to make my version of Kim's Roseville Album a very bright and happy quilt (I think it will probably be a sickening confection of a quilt in the end, but at least I'm having fun with all the bright colours for now). To offset all the brights I'm using black and white for all the stems and tree trunks. I am trying to avoid using any brown at all.
So the first two blocks are complete, only 15 blocks to go!!! I'm off to try and make block three behave, if it is not careful it might be skipped and block 4 will be done instead!

Fantastic choice to use the black and white, I wish I'd thought of that. The block is gorgeous, how did you like all the innies and outies?
Beautiful Cathy! I love the black for stems, etc... It looks fab. Can't wait to see more.
Gorgeous! Such happy fabric choices! I'm a giant fan of those black stems as well.
Just gorgeous!! I am sure that you can make block 3 submissive for sure and the result will be beautiful. I so admire everyone who does such gorgeous applique!

I LOVE your blocks! I hope you can give us some insight on how you handle block 3. I have to admit I love these bright bold fabrics but am clueless on how to use them! I can see that you are enjoying this project - Sue
Amazing! Beautiful work.

Stunning. I really love the use of black for the stems. The centers are perfect.
