Pull up a Chair

I came across a pattern at The Balcony Quilt Sutdio called "Pull up a Chair".  What a fun pattern.  The pattern is available online as an instant download.  I dug through my fabrics and found some fun colours in my Kaffe Fassett stash with a Free Spirit solid.  However, after I cut it out and stood back, there was not enough contrast to see the chair.  (Click on the photo to enlarge.)

 So I found a lighter background, but since I had all the background cut in the dark purple, I picked a lighter purple for a chair and ended up with two blocks!  The pattern is well written. I think I will be making more of these cool chairs.  It's a big block - the finished block reasures 15" x 18". 

 A foretaste of summer nights sitting outside!
