Winter 2014 4x5 Modern Quilt Bee & Fresh Sewing Day

I decided to sign up for the Winter 2014 4x5 Modern Quilt Bee this round.  I chose the January 2013 paper pieced block from the 2013 Lucky Stars BOM.  This is also what I spent most of February doing, thus most of my entry to Fresh Sewing Day!



My color scheme is red and tan, with some brown.  It's adjusted some as I make more blocks for this sampler quilt.  I decided it's best described as a real life red and white quilt.  I love red and white quilts, but it's just not realistic for everyday use with a daughter and a dog.  So, by adding tan and brown, I think it's more realistic for everyday use in my life.



Philippa asked for aqua/teal, pink/purple, grey and a touch of mustard with a white/grey/black low volume background.



Kendra asked for any shade of blue with a white background.



Maureen asked for blues and greens, "ocean" colors, with a white background.



Jodi asked for rainbow blocks with any kind of a neutral text print background.



Jennifer asked for pink, yellow, grey with a white, light grey, or low volume background.



Also, in case you were wondering what the papers from 5 paper pieced blocks looks like, see below!



I also made another block for my "Real World Red & White" quilt sampler.  This one is the February 2013 block from the Lucky Stars BOM club.  I'm caught up - just a year later than planned :)  I'm enjoying where this quilt is headed though.  I still hope to finish 2-3 blocks a month to keep on track to finish this by the fall.



Since my contribution to this bee is finished, I'm linking up to Finish it up Friday @ Crazy Mom Quilts and TGIFF.   It also counts as my WiP Wednesday @ Freshly Pieced for the week, Anything Goes Monday, Paper Piecing Party @ Quiet Play, and Let’s Bee Social Wednesday @ SewFreshQuilts.
