I am a little late posting this week’s block and I am blaming Wimbledon. I have been watching the matches on my computer which meant I had to wait for Tomic (the last Aussie standing) to loose his match. Now that the tennis is over for today, my computer is free to post this weeks block. And so I present my version of Lithium….
This is another fabulous pattern from Julie’s Block Rock’n series. You can find the free paper piecing pattern at her blog 627handworks.com. Make sure you check out Julie’s version of Lithium, it shows what real variety you can get with this pattern.
I am sure I will be doing this block again, without the constraints of the my current colour palette of grey and one other colour (it seemed like such a good idea at the time!). I also may have got a little carried away with the dots this week!
Next week I will have enough blocks to start laying out this quilt to see how it is coming together, so stay tuned for some WIP shots.
Linking up with Let’s Get Acquainted which is being hosted this week by Quilts in the Queue.
ooohhh! love the purples in this block!

awesome block and colors!
Hey… I Love what you’ve done with this block – dots and ALL. And I have trouble with purple. But I think your fabric choices were perfect! Lighter and brighter in the center and working it’s way out to the shaded outer reaches! And your piecing…. Spot on! You rocked this block!

Wow! That’s really cool! I like it a lot exactly as it is. 🙂
The light and dark purples look great! What a fun block.
I love all the dots – and the purples! It is so fun watching you make these.
I’m loving the purple and grey combo … looking forward to seeing all your blocks together 🙂
This block is just beautiful. I love the fabrics. Thanks for sharing.
I really love your fabric choices in general. This particular block makes my eyes so happy.
Thanks. I must admit I struggled to get a photo that truly captured the colours and fabric.
This block is rockin’!!! Love it. Julie really has some awesome blocks in this series.
I am always excited to see what Julie comes up with. I am in love with the new block – Garfunkel.
I enjoy your color choices in Lithium. I don’t think I could have picked those colors, but you make me wish I did!!! Beautiful.
Your paper piecing is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing on Let’s Get Acquainted this week!
