2024 Monthly Color Challenge - Hosted at Patterns by Jen


 Join in the fun with this 2024 Monthly Color Challenge inspired by tropical fish.

I'll be the featured blogger in March, but plan to share my version of each block as we go through the year. The block pattern is free during each respective month, so stay up to date to capture the tutorials with each pattern that Jen will issue.


Interested in fabric bundles? Please contact me (all ways are on my website). There are several options to consider so I'm not pre-posting them in my on-line shop, but you're welcome to say YES! I want a moda Grunge or Northcott Toscana bundle that will work. Maybe you'd rather use batiks? Let's do it! At least for the 'blocks' --just a light/dark color for each month or a light color and a consistent background for all blocks. Setting fabrics can come later as you see the blocks come together. I've got a few ideas, but I'll be happy to work with you at the end again when you decide how you want to complete the assembly of the blocks.

Ordering off my website each color requires at least a 1/4 yd except for the grey. Minimum 3/8 yd for grey, so if ordering online 1/2 yd will be needed for the grey.

Here is what I've pulled together. The background will be the blue w/bubbles --sort of like in the water, right? And the other fabrics are going to be used as the 'light' or color in each block. These are batiks from my stash, so not something I can exactly replicate. I do have batiks in the shop, so if you'd like to work with batiks, I can put together a bundle of colors for that too.

My plan for sashings will be revealed later --but taking fabrics from what I can offer in the shop, so that will be available for you too.

Additional Supplies that might come in handy (limited quantities available here):

EeziGrip 6 1/2" square ruler
