I broke the rules. I used white on the outside of Chen's block . . . but I couldn't help it. As soon as I read the words "please don't use white on the outside of the block" I got the image an incomplete block in my head. Just the corners of a block with a big strip of white in the middle that would blend in with the sashing when the quilt is finished. So thats what I did. A big ole' diagonal strippy block with white in the middle. I used some solids from my own stash to compliment the pretty fabrics and I think the final product is simple but nice. And of course if the white on the outside bothers Chen she can add a strip of something to the outside of the block to frame it in :)
I've really loved looking at everyone's designs for this quilt. You guys are so creative!!!

I can't wait to see this block when it is in the quilt :)
I love it! You did a great job on this one. It should look really fun floating on the white sashing. :)
This quilt is going to be beautiful with all these fabulous blocks. I think the solids look fabulous with these fabrics.
so beautiful! The solids you added are just perfect!
