Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 5 - Blog Tour

Welcome to the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 5 Blog Tour!


I'm excited to again have a block in this great newsstand special issue. I have all 5 volumes and love seeing the creativity!!

My block was inspired by this stack of fabric. It is Robot Factory by Caleb Gray for Robert Kaufman. I knew I wanted to make something where I could fussy cut the robots.

So I created this block! It's a wonky square in a square, but for those of you who are aren't ready to get wonky... have no fear it is paper pieced!


I had big plans of making a quilt for Elijah from this block, but then Quilt Market prep went into full swing! Luckily I think he'll understand and be able to wait a few weeks!

Block #434 - Robox by Julie Herman, featuring Robot Factory by Caleb Gray






--

Here are some layout ideas.

Alternate the block with a solid one.


Set it on point and add some sashing.

Make one block twice the size.

The options are endless. Especially when you start thinking about how it would look in other fabrics & colors.

You can also rotate the block so that it appears more wonky.

Another option is to play with gradients of fabric. I think that Vanessa's new line featuring ombre would make for amazing blocks.

  166. I don't think you could make your blocks with out using Robot Factory! So cute! Well, your block would look great with any fabric line at all because it is so cute! Congratulations on being chosen to be in vol 5! I also have all 4 previous issues and I hope to have my hands on this one very soon!
