I'm changing things a little and using a scrappy fabric selection from my stash rather than just the 14 fat 1/4s suggested in the pattern. You know me, I do love a scrappy combo.
The mish mash of colours and fabrics all give the larger florals a chance to shine. Here's a few progress photos . . .
On one block I had to piece together a favourite fabric to get the effect I wanted. And then I added some boho embroidery. I used embroidery floss, as I wanted my stitches to be more noticeable (hopefully) than the joining seam.
Any more weekend sewing came to a grinding halt today . . .
I had a little helper visiting . . .
Linking up with Wendy for this weekend's 'peacock party' here
and with Cynthia for 'oh scrap' here
Until next time, Linda
What fun to have your grandchild 'helping' sort your fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI love your latest quilt Linda! Do any of the quilts on IG have names or tags. I'd love to see what inspired this lovely creation! I am also taken with not only your sweet little grandbaby, but the size of that stash!!! Those baskets look full to overflowing!
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be one happy and bright quilt when done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy helper - I would stop sewing, too!!
ReplyDeleteLooking good. I look forward to seeing where this goes. And that face . . . what a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteFascinating blocks and I love how you have embellished that block. Those little helpers make forward progress difficult. But, isn't he a cutie?
ReplyDeleteLove the flower fabrics..and that cute little helper...
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are looking great Linda. Thanks for sharing with Oh!
ReplyDeleteBtw-I play in my fabric bins the same way! (So adorable)
What a cutie! Love the boho design.
ReplyDeleteThose are great blocks and a fun combination of fabrics! I love your idea to add the embroidery, too!
ReplyDeleteThose colors and prints are just delicious together -- and your little assistant is PRECIOUS!
ReplyDeleteHe certainly looks happy to be sorting all your fabrics! Lovely mix of fabrics Linda, love those florals. I have this pattern in my folder on the cutting table, my plan (at the moment) is to use the new Shannon Newlin fabrics for this one.
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting pattern, and a cute little helper.
ReplyDeleteYou're getting in the Ann Maria Horner mood already! I'm loving all those photos from her classes in The Netherlands, and can't wait until she comes to NZ. Thank you for linking up to the Peacock Party.
