Here is another block with my new row by row project. This was a block I've had in my planned some months now. I have a cute pink proof of concept block I made a while back that has been just waiting for Pam's fabric to arrive. This block doesn't use any triangles. I love making blocks over sized and then being able to trim them to the perfect dimension.
The blocks show off Pam's fabric really well I think. I used some neutrals from my own stash to compliment the prints and florals.
My favorite of all these blocks is the green one. I love that color. It reminds me of a shamrock and luck. But I think they all turned out cute.
If you look at my Monday post you can see I had the rick rack at the top of the basket block pointing down against the basket. After playing with the baskets and thinking a bit I decided to repress the blocks to stand the rick rack up against the white handle piece and top stitch in the seam allowance. I think it makes a better statement. What do you think?

I do like the rick rack standing up. I love all the blocks. They really are cheery and so cute!
I like it both ways, but it does show up more standing up! Love what you're doing with the blocks, so darling!
I loved these baskets when you first show them to us. Now I LOVE it. I say yes to the straight up rick rack. Another beauty!
These are beautiful blocks...and I like the rick rack up as well...it's nice both ways but it stands out a bit more when it is up...like a little stage for the rick rack. :-)
I like the ric rac standing up, too! Again...the blocks and fabric are just wonderful!
The ric rac looks great both ways, but I think it's a tad better up as well. Wow such beautiful blocks, Nanette! I love what you're doing with Pam's fabrics. Can't wait to get my hands on some. xo Jen
Loving your blocks. Yes, I like the ric rac facing up better, too. Cool that we can just press it either way, huh?
oh I love them all - normally, green is my favourite colour but the blue of these fabrics is just gorgeous.
I love your new blocks! They really make the fabric stand out!! I like the ricrac both ways!!!
I love he blocks and the color combos. Don't be so hard on yourself.
Loving the blocks!
Gorgeous blocks - just couldn't be nicer!

I love the PKM blocks -- you're so clever with her fabric. And I love the ric rac on the little basket -- very cute!
I very much like your new blocks - very striking! And yes, you're right - the rick rack standing up shows up a lot better.
Great block and nice easy sewing with no triangles--clever you! I like the rick rack all perky too :)
I love, love the colours Nanette! No one does it better with vintage!
Yeap, the ric rac looked cute in the other picture but now that you changed it up... even better! I love the block you are making using the PKM fabrics!
Every new block is making this quilt so much more fun! And the fabrics couldn't be any more cuter :)
