block 5
I was truly shocked to find i didn't post since early january. But here it is, my block #5.
For the leaves i used what is mostly used as a background. But since my background is this nice red, i figured i would use my 'background' fabrics in a different way. So far, i do like where this is taking me, but still very anxious to see the outcome because i still don't know where i am heading.
I also like my sometimes quirky circles, doing them the needleturn way. I feel it fits the playfullness of the quilt to be.
Have fun.

I like your red background a lot and the quirky circles are what I did, it suits the folk art look. I think your fabrics look great, keep going.
ReplyDeletethis quilt is going to be gorgeous!!! I can't wait to see all the blocks. thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look great together! I like how they each have a color theme, but still coordinate nicely with the others!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing great Francoise! I think they are coming along nicely. Love to see some pink pieces on the red background, may be on another block ( but then I'm a pink girl though) Kim McL
