Eileen's Building Blocks

 

This lovely sampler quilt was made by Eileen.  The blocks were made using the new book called Building Blocks from Melissa Marginet.  The book has an innovative technique for making the blocks that involves no trimmed corners.

Eileen enjoyed playing around with all the different options in building her blocks. And the end result is many variations that are pleasing.

Eileen selected the Cassava pantograph which finishes things off with a nice light flowing touch.

Eileen is happy to report that she did not buy any new fabric for either the top of back of this quilt.  She instead visited her "Fabric Pantry" and used a couple of fabrics in the top that were waiting around for just the right project.  For the backing she used some leftover chunks of wide backing that were left over from past quilts.
