I am either working on too many
projects or not enough! I am really enjoying the Noah and Matilda sew-a-long
(visit the Facebook page here). I am making them in numerical order to ensure
that I WILL make all of them and not just the easy ones. For some reason I
skipped right to block 2D last week and missed posting these two.
Block 6C was another favorite
of mine. I love the crazy shape of this “flower?”. I used an antique fabric for
the background and it was so thin that I was afraid it might bleed through to
the backing, but it turned out to be just fine.
Block 1D is a bit skimpy for
my taste. I like a robust wreath with chunky petals (I can’t wait to get to 5D –
nice big petals in the flower!). I did add one petal to make the alternate
cheddar and yellow colors work out symmetrically and I added the little neon
circle in the center.
The backing on this one is one of my favorite neons (I
seem to be saying that a lot about these super neons!).
Oh, I do like that neon print fabric too. You have the best repro stash.
ReplyDeleteThose are fun blocks and that fabric is stellar!
ReplyDeleteWow, love that backing!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you get it all done--the applique, hand quilting, AND binding all finished on each block as you go. Leaves me in awe!
I didn't know there were so many neon prints. Your blocks are looking fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWe do have our preferences for applique don't we? Your fabrics are just scrumptious. Love all the beautiful work you show!
ReplyDeleteSweet applique. Really like the echo quilting in your lovely blocks. Dawn presented a workshop at our guild and we did one of her Noah and Matilda blocks. Mine is done but is waiting on more companions:-)
ReplyDeleteOh they are just wonderful!! Not sure which one is my favorite so far... can't wait to see them all together!!
ReplyDeleteThe neon print is brillant. I love seeing how you're tweaking the blocks in a very Wendy style.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love applique, I think I'm going to enjoy seeing the back of this quilt as much as the front with all those different neon prints. It's just so fun!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are looking great! It's always a treat to see what fabrics you decide to use.
ReplyDeleteThese blocks are just too too cute! and the neon backings are beyond fabulous.
