Corner Garden quilt block by Robin Pickens for Moda Blockheads

CORNER GARDEN block and Book Giveaway!

6/30/2020

I've got a lot to cover today so keep reading! There is a book giveaway included from Martingale at the end! New block pattern, color studies and book giveaways...sounds like a good Wednesday to me!

Corner Garden Quilt Blocks- Robin Pickens

I'm very excited to share my block this week "CORNER GARDEN"! This block came out of the leaves in my Bird Talk quilt with a desire to do a simplified floral bloom. I think this block would be adorable in the corners of a pieced border of a quilt, plus it plays off the 4 corners of the block, thus the CORNER part of the garden name. The pattern is here in the gray link box right under this paragraph, but keep reading for color play and a BOOK GIVEAWAY from Martingale Publishers!

Corner Garden Pattern Link

Corner Garden by Robin Pickens Color Studies 1

Big square flower blooms and leaves....simple in flat colors or you can try them with a color ramp from light to dark. Change up the colors and contrast from one bloom to the next and switch up the leaf colors. I also played with the negative and positive shapes in the last one, with a change in leaf backgrounds too.

Corner Garden Quilt Block by Robin Pickens Color Studies 2

Since the corners of the pattern are made up with stitch and flip squares, why not try greens to the center to make a base for the flower bud with two of the corners? And you can play with varying shades of color to give the illusion of angle and perspective on the flower sides. The bottom images also play with the rectangles that border the leaves. If you make part of those the leaf colors it creates an image of stems weaving together in a flower twist.

Corner Garden Quilt Block by Robin Pickens Color Studies 3

Then I started to break down the shapes to be less literal as flowers, and to emphasize the triangles to the sides of the leaves. They start to look like supergraphic stripes and boxed in angled stripes vs leaves. I also explored a blue/cream/green palette. The last image starts to play off the faceted corners of the octagonal shapes.

Corner Garden Quilt Block by Robin Pickens Color Studies 4

And this last one breaks down the shapes even more to the churn dash idea and graduated stripes. These feel graphic and can work well if you are more focused on shapes and don't want blocks that suggest flowers and literal objects.

I think this block has lovely possibilities to explore pairs and reflected units, playing off rainbow colors or just simple groupings.

Corner Garden Quilt Block by Robin Pickens Moda Blockheads

These are my all-Thatched and scrappy versions of Corner Garden. The scrappy one uses Abby Rose and Dandi Annie plaid with Cream and Tangerine Thatched. These are 8" blocks. I tend to make my corner pieces a little larger and trim them down to size. And if all the HST corners are the same, I make my HST with an 8-at-a-time method vs individually.

The 4" block I made in V& Co Ombre Confetti. I just love doing these little blocks!

And I thought it would be fun to try making a block from strip/string quilt pieces. The block below is a 12" block using strips from Solana, Dandi Annie, Painted Meadow, Sweet Pea & Lily, Blushing Peonies and Abby Rose. I used the Ombre Confetti for centers since I thought the dots reminded me of big pollen filled flowers. There are lots of ways to have fun with this block!

Elinor Couper

7/1/2020 03:59:00 am

My first thought was to say blue, but really I would say that love the colours of the ocean. Beautiful crystal clear blues and green of all hues but also murky tones as well. Shell colours for contrast. The ocean is so calming and wow we really need that right now.

Kathy Straw

Charlotte Keene

7/1/2020 04:06:00 am

Jan Sessions

7/1/2020 04:39:02 am

My favorite colors are purples and greens.

Donna J Reeves

Jennifer Heaton

7/1/2020 04:39:36 am

Christel Powell

7/1/2020 04:51:40 am

All shades of blue. Always say "will not make another blue quilt" and then a designer comes up with a line that I just can't say no to.

Patty Jones

7/1/2020 04:54:20 am

My favorite color is blue, so sewing with it always makes me happy and is soothing when things get stressful; BUT, as long as I get to sew, it all makes me happy!!!

Thank you Robin for your Color Studies, this is such an awesome resource for me, as I sometimes have trouble stepping out of the box and visualizing different colorways. You do all the work and go above and beyond anything I could even comprehend. I so much appreciate it!

Joyce Comfort

7/1/2020 04:59:00 am

Thanks for your block and the many color studies. I love brights, but everything seems to include some green. Green beings all other colors to life!

7/1/2020 04:59:48 am

Rita Mulvey

7/1/2020 05:00:09 am

I find that lately I have been incorporating a bit of lime/poison green into most of what I am sewing.

Samantha Haltom

7/1/2020 05:00:20 am

Cornflower blue. Recently made a winter quilt using blues and grays instead of the traditional green and red and i loved using a solid cornflower blue for the border. Btw i LOVE your Thatched line. Your blocks pop and are so rich.

Liz

7/1/2020 05:11:17 am

I tend to use a lot of earth tones with reds, oranges, and golds.

Marilyn Rose

Angela Bowling

7/1/2020 05:22:42 am

I love red. Red shoes! Red cars! Red flowers! Everything red. I mostly make scrappy quilts and I really have to watch myself or I will put way too much red fabric in each block. I have to give all of the other colors a chance to shine.

Cathleen Frank

7/1/2020 05:24:25 am

I enjoyed looking at the color studies. It is interesting how the placement of the colors make the block look different. My favorite color to work with is blue. I would like to make a quilt with just blue and white.

7/1/2020 05:24:48 am

My favorite color to sew with is red or any shade of it! Pinks, corals, oranges, etc. They just make me happy!

My favourite colours to sew with are greens and purples but ultimately it really depends on where the quilt will be making its forever home. 🏡

Love seeing the different colour layouts, especially the last one with the leaves creating an 'x' in the layout.
My favorite colour lately is aqua - and hope to use it in wider sashes between other patchwork blocks.

Angie Booth

Purple. Purple. And purple! Thanks for the quilt square for this week!

Jean Scharchburg

7/1/2020 06:02:32 am

Difficult to choose just one color, I’d say I tend to gravitate to purple, green and teals.

Jamie Taylor

7/1/2020 06:03:38 am

I am drawn to the pink shades mixed with green or blue but lately have been using a bright playful mix. Thanks for your color play options. It helps me expand my color horizons! :)

Debbie Wheeler

7/1/2020 06:09:04 am

Well, blue is my favorite color and a lot of quilts use blues, all shades and tones. But lately have branched out to other colors, purple, orange, greens and yellow. Love you color studies. Just shows all the possibilities. Loved the use of strings in your block. No one in any of the Moda Blockheads has incorporated strings in their blocks.

I love good, true green. It’s sure hard to find in fabric, though. It seems I can find every shade of green there is except for lovely, bright, happy true greens, like the color of grass or John Deere tractors. This block is darling and I wish I had green in my quilt for the leaves because I absolutely adore thewe little flowers. I appreciate the many color studies so much, especially with this block because I think my colors lend themselves best if I don’t have little leaves. I still might, but it’s good to see other options.

Deb Enders

7/1/2020 06:15:07 am

For me its not one color - but rather the autumnal range. My home reflects our love of rusts, oranges, various shades of greens, deep browns and reds. The whole range just makes me happy. Thanks for the giveaway! I loved the blocks where you used strings in the leaves...wonderful.

I have only been quilting for 2 months now but I really seem drawn to greens and peaches/corals. i just bought the Abby Rose charm pack with no plan in mind except I liked the colors.

Favorite color to sew with? If I have to pick just one I'd go with blue. But if you look at the quilts I've made and kept, the answer is clear black and white with a bright!
Love all the possibilities with the Corner Garden block. Thank-you.

I am a blue and white girl but my latest quilt(s) will be orange. It's the TN Vols color, Vanderbilt color. My step son is graduating from Vanderbilt, his wife graduated Pharmacy school. For the baby due is Aug., I'm making orange and whites and grey; then when my husband was in the ER, he asked why I didn't make one for him too. That's a lot of orange and white !!

Susan McAleer

Blues and peach are my colors of choice right now. Fabrics are so filled with beautiful colors and create so many different feelings, it’s hard to choose a favorite. Have a nice day 🙂

Tonya

7/1/2020 06:27:02 am

I love scrappy quilts. However, if I’m going with a color theme I prefer blue and yellows, and soft pastels.

Frances

7/1/2020 06:29:49 am

I love, love, love your color studies. Right now I like to sew with vivid oranges and hot pinks, but my tried and true favorite is cream and red. I am also exploring vivid oranges and greens to match my bedroom and bath.

Shannon Smith

7/1/2020 06:30:37 am

Thank you so much for showing us all these color studies! Your blog is a constant springboard for new ideas😁. My favorite color has always been green, especially paired with corals and oranges, but lately I can’t get enough of the deep teal in Abby Rose 💕

Kay

7/1/2020 06:33:59 am

I don’t have a particular color but rather a particular type of fabric....I love the vintage look and love sewing with those fabrics!

Verena

I love sewing with bright colours, right now it’s coral colours that predominate

Petra

I love to sew with grey with a touch of color. With MB3 I’m going out of my comfort zone. Orange, Bordeaux with white background.

Cathey Marciniak

7/1/2020 06:39:03 am

I love white on white. I also like purple and yellow together. I think it makes a lovely, crisp looking quilt. Thank you for the opportunity.

Susan Du

7/1/2020 06:39:41 am

I'm loving the pop of color with the pinks and oranges. I love all colors, so my color scheme changes in my quilts depending upon the seasons.

Donna V

7/1/2020 06:44:39 am

I've been hooked on making red, white and blue quilts lately. I finished the Bonnie Hunter Unity quilt in her red, white and blue colors a couple of weeks ago and have two other red, white and blue quilts in progress.

Angela

7/1/2020 06:44:57 am

I tend to work with spring colors not really pastels but pinks, blues, greens. I also use a lot of batiks!

I like to sew with brown and pink. I think they look amazing together. That said, I sew with all the colors of the rainbow.

Alena

7/1/2020 06:56:23 am

I dont know if I can choose a single favorite color! I love sewing with bright colors, so maybe pink and orange would be some of my top 2 favorite colors.

Loris Mills link

7/1/2020 06:56:25 am

This is such a happy block! I just plain love colors so sometimes it's hard to pick a favorite. Mention any shade of the lime green family though and you have my attention! Thank you for such beautiful designs!

7/1/2020 06:57:04 am

My favorite color to sew with is green. I think it is my favorite because it reminds me of nature. Of spring. And the beauty of mother nature

Marjorie

7/1/2020 06:57:23 am

To me quilts are meant to be cozy and comforting. I tend to favour warm colors like the orange, rusts, golds and browns of fall which to me are colors which blend with the season we most often use our quilts but they are equally versatile as summer picnic quilts as well.

Kris

7/1/2020 07:05:06 am

I love the rich tones of fall colors, deep greens, luscious oranges , sunflower yellows, apple reds!

Joellyn

7/1/2020 07:13:13 am

Debi Friesen

I love so many colors to sew with but I am always drawn to sea colors like blue, aqua, and sea green.

elin c pittman

7/1/2020 07:14:32 am

I'm afraid it is blue, or another calm and cool color like green or purple with a pop of red or orange for interest. I do love your oranges and greens. :)

Sally H

7/1/2020 07:15:07 am

It must be aqua, since there is much fabric in aqua/green/blues even after cutting out several large quilts for charity.

Bonnie Neeley

7/1/2020 07:18:34 am

I'm a new quilter and ❤ Moda Blockheads! My colors are browns, reds & greens.

Demetric Baines

I love using the patriotic red, white, and blue!

Sandra

7/1/2020 07:20:37 am

That's a hard question to answer but I think blues of many hues.

Sandra K. Richardson

7/1/2020 07:20:52 am

I seem to gravitate to green. I love every shade of "green" and it goes with so many of the other colors..but I just love colors. When a certain color becomes popular, I like to sew something with it but always return to green..

Maribeth

7/1/2020 07:23:24 am

I am wild for chartreuse! Love your color studies...thaks to all for the blockhead designs!

Wendy

7/1/2020 07:25:22 am

I love to sew with blue. Light blue in particular but, I like variations of the blues that tend to seaglass green.

Robin Young

7/1/2020 07:26:44 am

I seem to sew alot of fall colors. right now I have 2 quilts started with grey.

Patty Sliney

I am sorry but I don't have a favorite color, I love them all and depending on my mood or inspiration that is what I choose.

Cindy G

7/1/2020 07:33:30 am

I gravitate towards purple and green unconsciously. But love a good rainbow in a quilt. Honestly whatever color I’m working with at the moment is my favorite.

Pamela Utecht

7/1/2020 07:36:00 am

Carole Anderson

Favorite color. How do I pick just one? I think I have to say bright, obnoxious green is my absolute favorite.

Rachel Powell

7/1/2020 07:40:12 am

Although I love all things pink I probably sew with blues even more- especially light sky blues, turquoise, and dark navy.

Cindy Bufford

7/1/2020 07:40:26 am

Hot pink and teal

I like teal/turquoise.

Beth

7/1/2020 08:21:01 am

Orange for some reason feels like a hug, so I love it in snuggly quilts.

Right now, I'm doing a scrappy quilt, so I'm loving using the entire rainbow and then some.

Laura

7/1/2020 08:27:47 am

7/1/2020 08:35:27 am

I am still finding my own style but I sure like that way bright colors pop on Black! I have made 3 black quilts and I have hated giving. Them away! I have two more I am making. I like black!!

Teresa Block

7/1/2020 08:35:46 am

Such a tough decision... today I choose ballerina pink, but lilac is a close second!

Sandy Carlson

7/1/2020 08:37:19 am

What fabulous options you provide for one block! I love the 'string' pieced blocks for the garden block! My favorite color has become blue. Probably because that is the last quilt I made! Thank-you for this awesome chance to win a great book!

Donna Murdock link

7/1/2020 08:44:43 am

I love color! I seem to love the color I'm sewing with at the moment. I have been making bed sized quilts for my 14 grandchildren so I have been using the colors they love. As I sew them, I love those colors. For myself, I love orange! I love green. I love aqua. I love pink. I could go on and on. I love all the colors of nature!

Susan M Reed

7/1/2020 08:50:37 am

My favorite color is multi-color! My son's preschool teacher always included multi-color as a color when she taught colors to the 3 and 4 year old's. I loved that! And she taught them the colors in French so it was multi-couleur.

Pris Phillips

7/1/2020 08:52:36 am

Hi Robin... I love your block!! I especially love the arrangement where you have the 4 blocks arranged so the flowers form a circle! If I do 12” blocks, and add a small border, I’ll have a darling baby quilt! One of our employees just became a first time Dad! They had a beautiful baby girl, and I’ve been looking for the right pattern to make them a baby quilt! I also have a hoarded stash of your fabrics... maybe it’s time to use them!!

For color to create with... I can’t pick just one! But if white counts, I do use a lot of Bella 98 white. I also love navy right now. But bright colors in fun or funky designs are what I’m drawn to the most! Like orange, pink, red, yellow, chartreuse!!, lime, aqua, teal... all mixed up together. 😊

Warmly,
Pris

Peggy Harris

Loving all these blocks so many thnaks for them and all the ideas for colours etc. I've just gotten into quilting and am using scraps of fabrics that I've had in my loft for about twenty years!!

Blues are always what I am drawn to although I often surprise myself when brights end up under my sewing needle!

Your block this week is stunning. I love green.💚 I am just working on a two color quilt out “enchanted” and white. Love working on it.

Kathy

7/1/2020 01:17:49 pm

So many beautiful fabrics and colors makes it hard to choose. Today I guess it would be green, tomorrow it probably would be orange!

Donna S

7/1/2020 01:19:04 pm

I love all the colors but lately I’ve been seeing green in a lot of my quilts. Maybe that’s my favorite right now.

Kristi Castanette

7/1/2020 01:23:10 pm

My favorite color is purple! I love all shades from lavender, violet to deep purple.
Thank you for your great Blockheads pattern and book giveaway!

Karen Boswell

BLUE in any shade, for sure! Enjoy all colors in lesser amounts or degrees but cannot get enough of blue!

Jennifer Fry

7/1/2020 01:34:49 pm

I love working with oranges and teals. It’s a modern Halloween pallet.

Jessica Christensen link

7/1/2020 01:50:34 pm

My favorite color to sew with is probably gray. It's great as a background, as an accent, or as one of the key colors. I like the other colors a lot, but it's hard to choose from those (perhaps pink is the one I use the most). Gray, however, goes with everything and can be masculine or feminine, striking or subtle.

Rita Long

7/1/2020 01:52:31 pm

Susan Jeffries

Robyn Conners

7/1/2020 02:18:17 pm

Orange and olive green, blues

Elizabeth Hogg

7/1/2020 02:19:06 pm

My favorite color depends on the recipient of the quilt. For my grandkids it is usually something with bright colors or their favorite color at the time. For my friends, I find out what colors they like in various ways and then go from there.

Paula Fey

7/1/2020 02:21:58 pm

My favorite color of fabric is sky blue. I love all kinds of blues because they are so calming.

Amy Kendall

7/1/2020 02:22:51 pm

I seem to use a lot of pinks and pale yellows.

Yvonne Hicks

Carole Coley

7/1/2020 02:33:23 pm

I Love your block! The alternative layouts are wonderful. I’ve got to stitch out this one. My favorite color to quilt with lately is either strong Reds or Blues. Thanks for the chance to win a book.

Debby Nisley

7/1/2020 02:36:23 pm

I love this block, and love my pinks and greens, which I will definitely be using in this week’s block!

Susan Simmons

7/1/2020 02:39:04 pm

I seem to always have either black or white or both in my quilts. Ties everything together nicely. But then, I really just pick a lovely fabric and pull colors from the piece for inspiration.

TroyJennene Gibbs

7/1/2020 02:45:09 pm

My fav color to sew is Purple. I love how purples and oranges go so much together and create a modern feel. For the Moda BH3 I decided to go thru using my stash & settled on a Blue & White theme since I have plenty of those two colors. Lovely to donate to your fav charity. Great post

Kerry Wilson

7/1/2020 02:55:35 pm

I am a blue person but currently having so much fun with accents of hot pink and orange. So excited to try variations of this block. Have a great day :-)

Camille Venners

7/1/2020 02:58:10 pm

I don't think I have a favorite, although I do love blues and teals. My color choices are often based on where the quilt will be used and by whom.

Laurel DeWolf

7/1/2020 03:06:33 pm

My favorite color was always Red....I'm just drawn to red fabrics. BUT...recently I made a quilt using jewel-toned batiks (no red) which turned out beautiful and, even more recently, I've just completed a pink and white quilt for my sister and, wow, thinking I'm not partial to just one color any longer!

Nancy C Picard

7/1/2020 03:10:46 pm

I love the color red. I just think it goes with so many colors. Perfect for Christmas, 4th of July and Valentines day.

Terre Sturtevant

Teals and pinks

Lisa England

7/1/2020 03:25:05 pm

Thanks for giving me a chance to win the great book.

Gwen Wehner

7/1/2020 03:26:43 pm

There's a lot of teal in my recent quilts, but I also like coral. Thanks for your color studies!!

Shelby Shipley

7/1/2020 03:30:46 pm

I enjoy all blues!

Marcia

7/1/2020 03:33:53 pm

For quilting I am drawn to blues, teals, and cool pinks and reds. (Although they sneak into my quilts, I have a general aversion to oranges and yellows, maybe because I don’t wear those colors well.) Give me cool, soothing blues.
I love your corner garden block and all the variations in color you showed

Barbara Edwards

7/1/2020 03:38:14 pm

I’m currently in love with turquoise. My favorite does change frequently. 😆

Ashley Dean

7/1/2020 03:57:10 pm

I love purple! I use both in quilts and in garment sewing. I just finished a green and purple doll quilt for one of my nieces and now I want one myself.

MaryAnn Mairs

7/1/2020 03:57:19 pm

My quilts tend to be in the CW reproduction blues paired with browns and tans. But I love the Fugitive Purples, Poison Greens, Grays/Blacks and Reds. Really, any of the 19th century colors.

Love your color studies though. They are all fun.

Clara R Haessig

7/1/2020 04:02:28 pm

I love color, anything bright, flower, shapes, designs, anything fun and cheery and exciting. I tend to stay away from dark colors but will use them if I need to for a pattern or if the person I'm sewing for ask for dark tones.

Renee M.

7/1/2020 04:03:58 pm

I love to add a green to most of my quilts. I love nature as well as gardening and therefore notice all the lovely variations of green that nature has to offer. It's nature's foundation color and so easy for me to work with.

Laura White

7/1/2020 04:21:29 pm

Love your Corner Garden block! I am making my blocks from my stash, and this block made me aware that I DO NOT have a good selection of green fabrics... I’m going to have to rectify that problem!

Pati Coe May

7/1/2020 04:39:26 pm

I love to sew with grays and whites with a little red or black.

Barbara

Blues and teals are my favorite!

Cindy Deatsman

7/1/2020 05:04:34 pm

Right now it's red, although my Blockheads blocks feature peach and chartreuse.

Danielle Fortin

7/1/2020 05:12:47 pm

I like colors. Usually, I choose blue and there is always white. As long as it' not grey, orange or too much "Fall" colors, I'm happy.

Wendy Gontier link

7/1/2020 05:16:40 pm

I love lots of bright and cheery colours but often find I am working with greens and blues or pinks and reds. Colour combinations always fascinate me. thanks for sharing the blocks btw

Sara Chase

7/1/2020 05:18:14 pm

My favorite is the one near the end that say " think this block has lovely possibilities to explore pairs and reflected units, playing off rainbow colors or just simple groupings." It amazes me how many different ways a quilt will look by changing color placement and lights and darks. Thank you!

Vicki J McRell

7/1/2020 05:18:24 pm

I tend to lean toward browns and tan. Also love blues.

Linda Miller

7/1/2020 05:23:17 pm

So many colors I love - impossible to choose! Please don't make me pick just one!!!!

Sherri

7/1/2020 05:24:25 pm

My favorites are deep yellow to gold such as the colors of sunsets and sunflowers. It seems that the color gold seems to give warm hugs and bright smiles.

7/1/2020 05:50:15 pm

I love to sew with creamy creams, buttery yellows and lipstick reds. I love earth tones too.

Pam S

7/1/2020 06:09:41 pm

Burgundy, greens and blues

Margaret Crow

7/1/2020 06:33:51 pm

I love BLUE, turquoise, robins egg, aqua, teal, all those shades of blue with bits of green added. I am so enjoying your color mock ups of the weekly blocks. Thank you!

Michelle Eichelberger

7/1/2020 06:35:16 pm

🤔, can’t choose one color, but I can tell you My favorite seasonal color pallet is Fall. I love the rich colors of orange and browns mixed in with golden yellows. I’ve alway imaged some day with covered in my handmade quilt hot Coco, my cat on my lap, a good book in playing in my ears and just knitting the day away. And than 5 minutes later I fall asleep 😴😁

Fran Drolet

7/1/2020 06:39:52 pm

I love working with batiks - and I especially love blues, and greens and purple (like eggpant!), But most I'm a lover of fabric, plain and simple - the the color, texture, pattern etc. Thank you for this block - so many creative possibilities!

TiinaK

7/1/2020 07:08:06 pm

Green and browns. Natural colors.

Debbie Darlington

7/1/2020 07:55:31 pm

I’m a scrappy quilter so it’s hard to think of just one color I like to work with. Red is an eye catcher, so I choose red! Thank you for the giveaway opportunity.

Jeanne Peterson

7/1/2020 07:59:19 pm

Blues and reds are my top favorites

Mary Davis

7/1/2020 08:12:09 pm

I love sewing with yellow. I like mixing different fabrics and patterns that have yellow in them to make slightly scrappy stars.

Susan Gardner

7/1/2020 08:25:56 pm

My favorite is hard to say, I really love scrappy! So is "multi color" a color, LOL?

Gwynette in NWArkansas

7/1/2020 09:30:58 pm

I love piecing with reds and neutrals. Thank you for your wonderful fabric lines. The colors are delicious!

Bri Loftis

7/1/2020 09:39:19 pm

For the last several years, I love orange - all shades of it from apricot to bright orange- in my quilts. It is so vibrant and alive.

Melissa

7/1/2020 09:42:38 pm

Love the different color variations. The flowers don't work with how i want my final product to look but with all the different color choices, I'm excited to make this one! Loving the reds and purples currently!

Bonnie Mosher

7/2/2020 01:28:56 am

I love the Thatched and Scrappy!

My favorite color to quilt with are blues. I also tend to gravitate towards traditional patterns. Your quilt is so ‘Happy’!

7/2/2020 01:30:19 am

My first years in quilting I used mainly country colours hence a big stack of quilts in rusty reds greens and mustard usually with cream backgrounds. Then as grandchildren kept arriving colours I was using became more primary or pretty girls colours. Now I find im loving navy, mustard, burnt orange, dirty lime green and low volume white grey backgrounds making for a much fresher look.
I'm loving the variations in your new block and wondering which version I'll do.

Suzan Bryner

7/2/2020 02:39:05 am

I love the color red. But I like warm and cozy colors to quilt with. I also love Black backgrounds cause it makes the colors pop!

7/2/2020 02:50:23 am

I love sewing with pinks & greens 🌸🌿🌺

Heidi Simon

7/2/2020 03:10:26 am

Loved your flower block. Reminds me of my garden. I usually like jewel colors with white, but lately I have been working on a mini quilt with more neutral old fashioned colors.

Yvette Cienski

7/2/2020 05:59:52 am

Yellow! Color of hope!

Judy

7/2/2020 06:32:15 am

My favourite colour to sew with is blue. That's my answer for today ... I generally love all the colours, especially if they are vibrant and lively.

Coral is one of my favorite colors to sew. Can’t wait to sew your block. Thank you for the pattern and showing us so many color options.

Laura Li Nash

7/2/2020 06:56:36 am

I think I like using white alot. It highlights the colors to let them stand out more. Also blue because it's my husband's favorite color.

Viona

7/2/2020 07:25:34 am

My go to colors are the mossy greens and rich pinks. After that it is blue and yellow, such happy colors.

I actually love using all sorts of vibrant colors, but I think I tend to use blues and purples a little bit more.

Cheryl Keown

Lately, my favorite color to quilt is red and white.

Nina Keester

my favorite colors to sew with are back, white and red - in batiks! Love your block - looking forward to creating it!

7/2/2020 10:44:47 am

I love working with all of the red shades - from fuschias through merlot. I've mixed them with teals and ocean shades at times or a real deep cobalt.

Kathy Dorman

7/2/2020 11:07:15 am

Purple! I could sew with purple all day long!

Therese

Sheila

7/2/2020 09:44:55 pm

What a wonderful blog post! Love how you play with color. And love how your lines all “play” well with each other!! Hard to pick just one color but would have to go with peachy corals, followed by the luscious greens in your lines :)!

Kristina Wilkinson

7/2/2020 10:46:41 pm

I love your block! What an amazing color journey and then the shapes too. What fun! So I love purple but I tend to sew in a rainbow theme if at all possible. I can never have enough different varieties of fabrics so my favorite of your blocks was the string one. :-) Thanks so much. K-

Hi Robin! Your fabrics sing to me in all of their colors. Please keep designing because they make us sooo happy with all of their richness and light. 💚💙💗

My favorite colors are blue and green. All the different shades of each one. They remind me of the ocean and how it can be dark inky black blue in some parts of the world and light frothy turquoise in other parts of the world. Still collecting colors from Abbey Rose... they are getting tougher to find! Thx for the giveaway and color study. I really loved them! Cheers

Jackson M. Watkins

7/3/2020 01:08:47 pm

My favorite blocks that you made for the Corner Garden Block was the Strip/String quilt pieces, although they all were very lovely. I would have to say that my favorite 'go to" color to quilt/sew with would have to be the "low volume" fabrics because you can put all of your other fabrics with them. The "low volume" fabrics are much better for me as I see white fabric as a little to clean or stark, not that clean is a bad thing :) I guess what I am saying is that the low volume fabrics are a little softer to me.

Pennie Locklear

7/3/2020 01:21:39 pm

I'm drawn to purples and greens but I sew in a variety of bright colors. The oranges you use here are terrific because they not only compliment each other in hue, but the patterns are different but blend nicely!

Doreen Savia

7/3/2020 03:34:50 pm

I love ALL the colors! The bright ones are my favorite and the pastels second.

The gardener and quilter in me LOVES this block!
I've been a blues and teals person but am trying to learn to branch out. I think reds and rusts next!

Thank you for the great article.

I usually use a lot of blue, but I’m stepping out of my comfort zone and doing more modern things so trying out oranges now.

Wonderful blocks, Robin! The last using strings stole my heart! I have no ONE favorite fabric color to sew with because I am drawn to the colors of all of the seasons, whatever season it may be. LOL Thank you for your great patterns and fabric collections. I’d love this new book!
