Mix It Up Fabric Choices and Block 1 - Outbound

Time to get Started!

This is my version of Block 1 - Outbound!

Before we get to far along,

I want to talk about my fabric choices.

I went with the beautiful Confetti Ombre Metallics by V and Co. for Moda.

I mixed them up (like the way I stuck in the MIX, ha ha)

with the Grunge Hits the Spot - New Eggshell and

Grunge by Moda in both Expresso and Lead.

Here is my list of fabrics:

Honey (10807-219) - 3/4 yard

Lagoon (10807-207) - 3/4 yard

Lime Green (10807-18) - 3/4 yard

Persimmon (10807-216) - 3/4 yard

Plum (10807-208) - 3/4 yard

Grunge Hits The Spot New Eggshell (30149 35) - 3 yards

Grunge Expresso (30150-310) - 3/4 yard

Grunge Lead (30150-309) - 3/4 yard

My Block 1 is made with Persimmon, New Eggshell, Expresso & Lead.

Using the pattern book, follow along with page N3.

First I list Nancy's fabric, then my fabric.

Teal Add It Up - Persimmon

Lime Counting - Lead

Black Spiro - Expresso

White Formulas - New Eggshell

I just cut the pieces I needed from the Persimmon Ombre

and decided how I wanted the shades to work when

I arranged the parts of my blocks.

I made the units and assembled the block

according to Nancy's fabulous directions.

Tah Dah!

The beautiful Outbound block is achieved.

Make sure you do this block twice.

Scott, my personal machine quilter,

digitized the block design and quilted for me!

Here is a look at the machine quilting:

Pretty cool, huh?

Okay, get to work!
