I've been playing around in the Design Studio..
trying hard to get this next block
for
Parisian Summer just right.
It's frustrating when you buy the fabric
for kits...
thinking it is going to work...
but then when you get to a certain point...
you realize you have to change it for it to look right.
The fabric below for the bottom hill...
just didn't work...
Nor did the fabrics I chose
for the petals.
So I start commissioning other fabrics...
Then to work I get...
Pull out previous applique...
And I start making new blades...
Find a new hill....
lay out the new blades...
And then lay it all out with the other blocks to see how it is working...
I like how the new flower brings all of the colors to play
that are in the other blocks...
but I must try one more combination...
The Guitar Man likes this one best....
we will see!
Although it is a lot of work...
and would be easier to just leave things as is on the first try...
I always take the time to work it..
re-work it....
and continue the process ...
no matter how long it takes.
We are off to an Indiana show later today...
Have a blessed day everyone!
OHH goodness me I like these you call them blades..wow! I want to make that lol. listen..everything seems to be working now wink

O MY GOODNESS!! Must Have ... drool-worthy ... love this block, agree with Guitar Man though I'm sure whatever you end up creating will be gorgeous ... definitely eye-candy and show stopper. by the way, I'm serious about the bucket load of lovin's here. ... :)
ReplyDeleteIt's just beautiful, hon! I constantly make mistakes picking out fabric, it's so frustrating - definitely the hardest part of the process for me!
ReplyDeleteThese are great!I like Jo, am not a quilter...yet! This inspires me to learn more! Such beautiful designs.
ReplyDeleteOh, I haven't half as much patience as you. I'm afraid I'd probably stick with the first design but I completely agree with Guitar Man's choice.
