Complementary Blocks
Complementary blocks. My complementary colours are orange red and aqua blue. I made the 12" block but I didn't want a bunch of blocks that big so I made the centre star in 6" blocks. I chose the salmon coloured fabric with birds on it as my focus fabric, so I have used orange red as the basic colour for all my blocks. I may have misinterpreted the brief, but I may as well continue on with this plan and see how it turns out.Tags: None

Christine I like your blocks! I'm working on additional blocks in the same way you are just playing with moving the contrast colors and tones around in the block. I also went with the same color combo - Orange Red and Aqua Blue. Great minds!
Dee, I'm also really struggling with pressing my blocks so the seams nest. The book just doesn't give any suggestions and I need some guidance about best practices, I guess.Last edited by Lynne R.; 04-14-2022, 02:49 PM.

Yes some seam intersections are quite bulky as the pieces are small. I have mixed up pressing seams open and pressing to the side according to what seems to suit. There could be problems when butting blocks together, but I intend to use sashing strips so this is not as much of an issue. it takes a lot of planning to get them all to nest when joining the blocks. Too much thinking required!
