A BOY AND A GIRL, AN ALBUM block # 7
With this block, I used different colours for the horses and the birds and kept the leaves in green and the flowers in the blue-purple and red-pink. I love those Roman Glass fabrics( I think that is the name), there is one in a really strong purple and I've used it in the centre with a solid. Pretty simple.
Our daughter had horses for over 12 years when she was little and during her teenage years, she rode everyday and during that time I got to know horses a lot. They are such funny creatures and beautiful too. K
Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteI should have added:: I even love the blocks we haven't seen yet! And so true it is! I love your choice of fabrics and colours!

This will be a favorite, I can tell.
ReplyDeleteOK, you are killing me. I'm ready to leave home and my life behind so I can find a small trailer with great views and lots of cupboard space for my stash and spend the rest of my life making brightly colored applique quilts!!! I'm very tempted...just sayin' :)
ReplyDeleteI'll join you! I bet you'll find that there will be a village sprouting up around you with fabrics as staple, K

Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt. Can't wait for the availability on Glorious Colors.
I am in the process, very beginning, of appliqueing your Flower Basket Medallion. Did you quilt it after completion? It's very hard to see on line.
Look forward to hearing from you.
