For those of you who are new to my blog, I am quilting 200 quilts from the book, "Around the Block with Judy Hopkins".  This is one of my favorite quilt books but I was using the same blocks over and over.  So now I have challenged myself to make a quilt from each of the 200 blocks.  One of the great things about this book is Judy gives you the dimensions for six different sizes of each block. 

Quilt block number 5 is called Calico Puzzle.  This is a simple pattern which I  had fun playing around with.  I thought my first choice needed a little  something.  Take a look:

So I decided to add a green in place of the side yellows.  See what you think.

When I put the four blocks together, I noticed it made another square on the diagonal.  I then took a darker turquoise to accentuate the diagonal.  Then I wasn't sure about the green so I made it all yellow again.  Here are the results:

I think they both would have worked but I liked the green added.  Here are the results.  I wanted to make sure you saw the square on the diagonal so that's how I quilted it.  I really like how it turned out.
