Cyndi's Step 2

Remember this step 1?
I hung it up on my design wall, and every time I looked at it, I liked it less and less.  I know that putting slashes through blocks was what we were supposed to try, but this just looked like a pansy with a slash through it. I really liked what Janet did with her pansy - she cut it in four pieces, and stuck a different block in the middle, so the pansy almost disappeared.

So today I decided to separate the pansy a little.
So this is my re-do of step 1.

Next, I tackled step 2.  I had lots of already-made crumb fabric.  I added a little more of the black/dots fabric, and cut strips of the made fabric for borders around it all.

  3. I really like this!! I also like the redo. That's some of the fun of these liberated blocks....they're always open to more interpretation...what goes together can always be cut apart, ha. Great job.

  4. I like you new look. The crumbs really add interest to an already great block.
