Ann's Block #5
I just finished block #5 last night.
I'm not sure I like the 2 pieces in the middle..but I'm leaving them for now. I can always change them later if I want to? ;)
The block is wonderful, Ann! Is it the choice of the brown fabric you're not sure about? Because I think that balances the color choices really well. I like it! And I agree that the vase is spectacular.
Thank you all for your encouragement. The fabric with the roses is Phillip Jacob's Floral Burst-red. It took a half yard cut to get two full roses. I had another fabric that was about 1/2" shy of letting me get a rose that was a little bit darker.
your fabric choices are wonderful, not only do your flowers but your vase looks absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to see what you do with your next block.
Ann, you're a marvel, the roses look fantastic!!And love the vase fabric, when I was doing my quilt, my daughter asked me why I've drawn an alien spaceship for a vase! Actually there is a vase in an 1800's Baltimore quilt that is the inspiration for it! The original looks a lot more " refined"! Kim McL
boy, those 2 roses came out perfect....awesome
