Funfetti Block!

At last month's NYC Metro Mod guild meeting, we had a wonderful visit from the folks at Michael Miller fabrics (you can read the recap here).  Michael Miller is debuting a new line of solids, which features 85 beautiful colors.  The cotton is  silky and smoother than typical quilting cottons, almost like a cotton voile (but opaque).

We were fortunate to be able to use their new solids as part of a challenge quilt for our members!  We each received squares of solids, plus a small scrap of bright yellow (called Starfruit, I think) for "pop."  We were asked to make "modern" blocks.  Here is my finished block:

Funfetti!

The browns reminded me of the mid-century modern look, so I went for a slightly Mad Men style.  I added the pops of yellow as little confetti accents.  The scraps on the right are all that remained after I completed the blocks...good to the last scrap!

Here are the views of the other colorways that members received.  I can't wait to see the other blocks when they're completed!

Love the fabrics!
