It seems I am better about
working on my blocks than I am at photographing and posting them. I’m not
making my blocks in the correct order because, well, I lost that information
when I printed out the patterns. I am simply making them in order of placement
in each row. Dawn's (Collector With a Needle) patterns are so beautifully done, it was a cinch to tweak some
of them so that they all orient on point. So, here are my latest 2 blocks. One
completed and one in the hoop!
I did have to re-orient this
one to fit on point.
I cheated a bit on the bow by allowing the fabric to do
the work.
This was the first layout utilizing the entire printed bow, but when
I stood back it looked like a little evil face - ick!
So, I took it out and
modified it. After all, a quilt should not frighten you in the night!

As much as I love these neon fabrics, I have to admit I was skeptical about using them in this quilt. I have found that love them more with each block I complete!
Those fabrics are some of my favorites and I giggled about the creepy eyes. I never would have seen it if you hadn't mentioned it, and you are RIGHT! LOL
ReplyDeleteBeautiful applique work! You are going like a house afire, as the saying goes.

Wonderful blocks--as always! Love those neon prints. I never would have noticed that little evil face in your bow but you came up with a great solution!

ReplyDeleteThose neons put a beautiful spark into each block.
ReplyDeleteGot a chuckle from your "evil face" comment. :)
I remember that little bow being a pain in the you know what!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking wonderful, even those evil eyes!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like the neon prints you are using. I immediately saw the evil face when I looked at your first version block. Like looking at the clouds and seeing images.
ReplyDeleteOh, your applique is always such a treat to see! These neons are extra special aren't they!
ReplyDeleteGREAT looking blocks, Wendy.
ReplyDeleteYou do such amazing work!! This looks like it'll be as spectacular as the Shenandoah quilt!
Gorgeous! I love the neons more and more too! They are so rarely used but are wonderful in this applique
