Fiddling around today deciding which blocks to do with the fabrics I have picked out to take to the retreat this weekend for fusing. I have the patterns for My Whimsical Garden which I showed in an earlier post and I do like those. However, I have been checking out all the gorgeous applique done on
http://gloriousapplique.blogspot.com/ and am so in love with what is being done using mainly Kaffe Fasset fabrics and the beautifully designed reproduction quilts by Kim McLean that I decided to go with this more folk art pattern and use the pretty bright fabrics. So I just put a few pieces on a block and the big chunk of fabric lying there with some polka dot in the center will probably be the main flower in that block. I really love the way it looks. Laying out the blocks is my favorite part of quilting - I adore working with all the colors.
Here is another one of the blocks that will be used. This will be a wallhanging and not too big, but it should be bright and pretty. Supposed to be really cold this weekend. (Click to enlarge)
