Kicks Quilt Along: Darryl Block Roundup

Hey guys! So sorry for the late post, I got sick over Easter (wahhhh). But! Everyone is cruising along with some gorgeous Darryl blocks. I showed you guys the start of mine last week, and here are the finished blocks:

I finished the charcoal one first and loved it. That Alison Glass batik print has splotches of orange in it that areĀ to die for. Then, I switched to the white one. And….

Did NOT like it at all. I showed my husband, and this is the conversation we had:

Me: This one turned out…kinda ugly.
Hubby: Well, we can’t all be winners.

So true, hubby. So true. And then I took a photo, posted it to Instagram. And…..

I love it in the photo! But not really at all in person. I don’t know what’s happening to this block. It’s just really photogenic and knows how to take a good selfie, maybe?

Ah well. I think it’ll look great as a group with the other blocks, even if I’m conflicted on it currently.

Here’s a refresher of my original Darryl block looked like, in my green quilt:
