Then I cut two 3.5" squares and four 2" squares of yellow and turned two of those rectangles into a 6" heart block using the technique I shared with you in this post.
That was one of the blocks that were sitting on my design wall when I returned from the fateful trip wherein I discovered that the cute little house had been repainted (see previous post). I was thinking about the Bead Journal Project and how I could journal about what had happened to the house, in beads, on an ATC. Rummaging through my stash I found a large scrap of a print I felt captured the spirit that house once had. It was too big and too busy for a tiny ATC though. That's when the heart block caught my eye. After pulling and auditioning several more fabrics I came up with this palette.
My intention is to make a Priority Quilt for AAQI, honoring the spirit of the home's previous owner. I haven't quite settled on the rest of the design or process yet. I spent yesterday catching up a bit on older bead journal projects. That will be a post for another day. ;- )
yep, love the heart!
ReplyDeleteGreat heart! Somehow, I never thought of starting with a 2 rectangles, instead of a square. Your way makes more sense. Thanks, I needed that!
ReplyDeleteI like your color scheme. That's a great inspiration fabric.
I thought that was so sad about that house. I like houses with happy out-of-the-box color schemes. Would have loved to have seen that. I'm glad you're going to try to capture that feeling in your ATC. Good for you!
Feel better soon!! I love your Love-heart block
