This liberated thing is hard. Not sure that I like this block. Sigh.
But let's give it a chance. I started by adding more color.
For Step 2, I had a great time making a whole pile of squares with bits and pieces (ignore the pandas--I was using that quilt as a design wall), but when I put them with my block----yuck. Didn't work. What next?
I didn't know where to go with this. I'm wishing I had done something different. Other people's blocks look so much better. Why can't I be free and easy? Should I start over? And then my sewing machine jammed.
While waiting to get it fixed, I read Step 3: Color. And thought, ok, add more green.
Someone had left scrap triangles at my guild's free table, and I added more strips to make big red triangles.
Leaving it here until the next step...
Love what you did. And I think those little blocks are going to come in handy soon, very soon.
ReplyDeleteThat's done it... the red looks great!
ReplyDeleteOh my, this really cool! I love how it all just evolved -- and it looks great. I think you have a Christmas Quilt in the making -- and you're way ahead of schedule :-)
ReplyDeleteThe little block in the middle of the quilt---was a perfect addition. I agree, looks like a Christmas quilt in the making. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteGreat decisions - it's all coming together so nicely. What technique did you use to get that little block in the middle of the quilt? It really ties the reds together. I really like it!
ReplyDeleteIt was just an extra block that I plopped on top, that I haven't sewn on yet. Thanks for the comment.
