I thought it had been an eternity since I wrote about this project, but it turns out it has only been about 10 days. June has flown by at mach 10 so I can’t really keep track. Since that last post, I have made at least one more block.
I am liking the blocks better, especially since I am able to see them all on the design wall together. They look ok separately, but the secondary design really explodes into wonderfulness when I put them all together.
I have about 7 blocks now and the urgency of laying them on the bed to see how many more blocks I need to make is becoming more urgent. Why I can’t grab the blocks and walk downstairs with them is a mystery.
The group of 6 blocks together looks really nice. (6 makes for a more even picture than 7.) I am glad I was strict with myself on the colors, because I think it is looking good. There is a rogue red patch, which I don’t understand, but I probably will just leave it.
As usual, despite the wide variety of fabrics, I still feel like I don’t have enough to make the piece look scrappy enough. I probably need to get over myself.
It’s looking so great and cool at the same time Jaye! I can’t get over how much the polka dot fabrics play in the look!
They do stand out. I hope they make the eye move around and don’t take away from the rest of the design.
I love your fabrics. The colors look great together. Someday I hope to do a quilt in this color scheme. Is this a fabric collection?
The reds are Kiss Kiss by Abi Hall for Moda. The turquoise is a Kona, I believe. I added a couple of extra reds to add interest.
