Ghost Quilting Series - Block 8

We have officially made it halfway into this series!  This week I am stitching a muscle man, body builder.  I know that my eldest daughter is a bit of a gym addict, and many people really enjoy fitness, so this just made sense to include in this masculine-themed hobby quilt. 

Ghost Quilting Series Block 8 - VIDEO

I was just going to do a blunt piano key in the mini border, but then I remembered I'm trying to push myself to try new things 🤪, so I decided to add some of those 'C' or 'U' lines to fill up every other key.  I think it looks really quite cool and could scale really well to fit a much larger space and density.  As a background fill, I had to do a wood plank design.  This is basically the same as a brick design, but with longer spaces like a wood floor or wall.  When I played rugby, we always used to pretend we were a brick wall, so no one got through our defences... and like we were built like brick sh*t houses 😆.

I think this is my favourite block so far... It's really fun. Remember, if you are finding any value in these blog posts or videos, feel free to buy me a coffee.
