March Block

March's block is constructed from chevrons that look three-dimensional because of the placement of medium and dark values.


I love making this block. It's really easy and fun. Make sixteen identical blocks and rotate them for a quick, fun quilt that has a lot of movement!


I've been collecting neutral fabrics in grays, taupes, browns, mushrooms, and charcoals, with touches of ice blue and chartreuse for accent. I'm thinking of making larger chevrons and setting them in alternating rows of browns and grays to make a lap quilt. The larger chevrons will show off the interesting patterns in the fabrics I've collected.
