Craftsy Block of the Month: July

This month's block was a tumbling blocks pattern.  The construction was in rows which avoided any Y seams.  I spent a lot of time deciding on the fabrics for the blocks since color value is such a big part of making the blocks look right.  I also decided to leave yellow out of this one to concentrate on the blocks.  So, in the end, I'm happy with the pattern, but (as usual) wonder how it will all look together in the end. 
 
And the whole collection:

  1. I signed up for the Craftsy block of the month this year AND last year and never made a single one! I will someday, though. That's the nice thing about Craftsy. Plus those ones were free, lol! I really like that tumbling blocks square and have always admired quilts in that pattern.

  2. Your tumbling blocks look great, you're so right about the importance of value in that sort of block. Like you though, I'm not certain how it will look with the other blocks, it does stand our rather with it's different background. Is that what you feel too?
