Rising Sun! Block 7!
Woohoo! Block 7 is Rising Sun, published by Nancy Page in the Birmingham News , May 13, 1941. Block 7 - Rising Sun I've searched several different reference materials, but I was unable to find another block that was similar. I did give some thought to not including Rising Sun, but I loved it and I wanted to show the uniqueness of the block. It really is striking with the Pickets/Quickets creating those tulips (my term) between the two-toned Quarter Square Triangles. We have a new technique in this week's block, it is those Pickets/Quickets , we are going to make them using our Wing Clipper ! It is a fabulous technique, you will love the accuracy! Let's talk color first. For my first fabric selection, I went with a Split Complementary color plan. I did cheat a bit and used the colors from that fabulous tulip print. That is a technique that is really easy and will help some of you that claim you are color challenged...
