Fresh Cut EQ Block Challenge

I saw on From My Carolina Home about a new block design challenge from Electronic Quilt using the Fresh Cut collection by Basic Gray for Moda.  I love designing blocks using EQ so I hopped right over to the challenge page and started playing around with the fabrics in the collection.

I decided to use a paper pieced block I already had designed in combination with the Fresh Cut fabrics.  It is a fun design that produces a some great secondary patterns when used in quilt top.

Here is my original design:

Here is my design using the Fresh Cut fabrics.  I love to see blocks in different colors, it is always so amazing to me how a block looks so different in bolder solids compared to softer prints.

Here is the Fresh Cut block and the original block in a quilt. (I love the bold graphic design of the original colors.)

I hope you have a chance to design a block and enter too :)
