@BrendaP I think I did all three! You were one of my doubles, so I made you two, and then I guess I made a third?
I know I own that red fabric, and it's at least a decade old- probably older- so I don't think it's very common any more! I'm glad you like them. They were so fun to make.
@fajita I'm gonna be the dissenting opinion and say I liked the light-bordered block in the middle. But the bright yellow center flower-like block does make a lot of sense in the middle! I made that block and really enjoyed it coming together. I want my own quilt of yellow-centered blocks now!
I got all my blocks so quickly, bought new batting the next day, wanting to make my blocks into a quilt right away. Then realized with my own-made blocks I had 11 blocks. If I made one more I could get a nice 3x4 layout.
So I went online looking for a fun block and found a paper piecing pattern for a rocket! I bought that, and decided to practice the pattern as I have a limited amount of my feature fabric left. I practiced using some avocado themed fabric I bought for a friend who is expecting a baby girl and loves outer space and her pregnancy craving is avocados....
Well before I knew it, my practice block turned into some improv patchwork, adding bits here and there, and it's quickly grown into a throw quilt that I honestly wasn't expecting. So when THAT is done I'll go back to the rocket block, buy new batting, and get my boom blocks laid out again
