We're expanding into prints this year. Gulp! Having focused so much on solids the past few years, I find prints a little intimidating; I have a hard time seeing the 'true colour' of a print. Solids are way easier. But it's time to get out of my comfort zone, right?
Jaclyn asked for a star(s) block this month in this beautiful Frosted Heights palette from Design Seeds:
I had no idea what I wanted to do until I saw Dominique's fabulous wonky star block (tutorial). Wonky's good! I thought I'd try two stars in mine though.
I used the large blue floral from the Flea Market Fancy line for the centre of both stars because it had all the colours from the palette. It was a fun block to make and it reminded me of the Stash Plays I used to do.
I hope Jaclyn likes it!
Those stars are so cute! You chose great fabrics for the color palette.
ReplyDeleteYour stars looks lovely! I like your color palletes - I have to go deeply in your blog to find how do you do it. It is very inspiring. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGlad to be of help... ;)
ReplyDeleteI like the idea you have going there with the Quilt Bee. I might start something similar with my "real life" quilt group. Love your star block and I think you used prints beautifully.

ReplyDeleteDon't be silly prints are your friend! You are doing quite well so far--I'd be wholly impressed to receive this as a bee block!
