Winged Square Quilt Block

I saw the Winged Square Quilt Block on Made During Quiet Time and I just kept thinking about it and thinking about it until finally I had to drop everything and go make one myself.

I love how Amy arranged her fabrics, with the center square a blend of 2 main "wing" colors. Super cool and graphic. I chose peach and pink as my two main colors, and used my beloved Sweetwater sewing dictionary fabric as the background.

I'm not sure how large Amy's blocks are, but I decided to supersize mine. My finished block is 24.5" square, with each finished half square triangle measuring 4.5" (unfinished).

I'm really drawn to pale colors right now, and I love the combo of pale pinks, salmons, peach and lemonade yellows with the creamy background. A fussy-cut Snow White scene from Heather's Ross's Far Far Away II seemed to fit perfectly in this soft block.

I'm envisioning mounting and framing this block as a piece of wall art. Thoughts? I'd love some suggestion on this! Have you ever framed a quilt block? Is it hard?

Happy stitching,

Kelly
