2019 Color Block - March, April & May

Life has sure been busy!  The Snow Storms of February meant extra hours needed to be worked in March, April, and I finally finished them in May.  On top of that I did a 5 week almost full time substitute position at my son's middle school.

Here are the blocks for:

2019 Color Block of the Month - February

This month I am a rebel....a color rebel....you see, I have two boys and I just don't own a lot of pink fabric.  When I looked at Jen's color listing I noticed that there was only 1 pink month.  Remembering that  I wanted to have things a bit more cohesive I went in search of a different color.    The color inspiration for February was a carnation and there were tons of images on Pinterest.  I looked for one that was a yellow because yellow was another color that only had one month.  I also wasn't in love with the pattern, so I tried three colors to highlight the center pinwheel to see if I could add a bit of interest.

Here are my inspiration pictures:

Here is my block based on these colors (it is hard to see, but the pinwheel has just the slightest bit of orange):

2019 Color Block of the Month - January

I had so much fun doing the 2018 Color Block of the Month by Patterns By Jen that I decided to do it again.  So.....2019 Color Block of the Month Challenge here I come!  This time Jen is using flowers as her inspiration.  I had so much fun creating a Pinterest board with inspiration for this year's quilt.  I even asked Santa to bring me a new pack of fat quarters to help me along.  I think I want to try to make this quilt a little more cohesive when it comes to color selection.

January's inspiration was Bells of Ireland:

Here is my block....and yes, I did switch things up.  Someone on the Facebook Group switched their colors so that the dark was the background and I thought that would be an interesting challenge/look so I decided to do the same.
