Sometimes getting started is the hard part. Once you get going, there is a flow that carries you along, or at least that's what you hope for.
I am working on a tutorial this week for my Four-Lily block. It's a different kind of W.I.P., but just as interesting and engrossing.

The hard part was picking fabrics for my sample block. You need a background fabric (that was no-brainer, Kona Snow) and two other fabrics, preferably with some contrast and variety against each other. These were a few of the potential combinations that I pulled.
Decisions, decisions! Some were obviously not right (too little contrast, too much of one color, etc.) In the end, since I'd already done this block for the quilt in pretty florals, I decided to go with something different.
I wasn't sure how the bold directional print of the Spintastic fabric would work in this block. You can turn that over in your mind all you want, I mused, but there's only one sure way to find out—give it a try!
So I cut out and arranged the pieces on the cutting table. Looks like it'll work just fine.
Part 1 of the block tutorial will be up this evening. In the meantime, you might want to start by looking over your stash or scraps (a FQ of each fabric will do).
I hope you will stop back and join me in making this fun block!
