  1. Fabulous block!! Great inspiration too 🙂

  2. I'm loving this block, Molli! Fabulous as usual!

    Nice block! You illustrate it so well with the range of scrappy blues and greens.

  4. Wow! Love this quilt and block! I would probably use all prints. My solid stash is incredibly skinny compared to my print stash. What is the final size on this quilt? I was a late bloomer to Alanis Morisette but I do love that album 🙂

    Check out Taylor Swift/Alanis Morissette video from last night performing You Outta Know~great timing Molli!

  6. I really like the secondary pattern that gets formed when the blocks join up, Molli! 🙂

    Probably one of my most favourite of your quilts Molly – love the blue and acid green. Alanis (one of my favourite Canadian singers along with Shania), really has deep messages and you conveyed them beautifully.

  8. "And every time I run my nails down someone else's back, do you feel it? Well, can you feel it?" Oh, Alanis. So much rage and angst. Definitely a large chunk of my university soundtrack – along with fellow Canadian songwriters, Jann Arden and Sarah McLachlan. Good times. But I digress. Love the secondary patterns created by the careful placement of blues and greens. Wicked good!

    Oh Alanis… Isn't it ironic, doncha think** that this other 90s reference and I crossed paths just this week…
    "You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."

    (**not actually ironic)

  10. Love this quilt (and block). And Alanis and I go way back…a little too ironic. Thanks for the tutorial 🙂

    Great inspiration for a fab block. One of my boys is in need of a new quilt and this looks like a great block to try. He's all into planets and space at the moment so I'm thinking some sort of dark spacey fabric with yellow/red pills could be the way to go.

    I have a friend who can't swallow pills at all. Made for an intestine trip round China with anti malaria tablets. Might just have to make this for her!

    that is so clever. the block transforms into something else entirely once joined with it's mates.

    […] with other blocks became something else entirely. Tick that one off the list! As I mentioned in my previous post about the block, the concept of a jagged little pill was also playing heavily on my brain. Things of beauty can be […]
