PANSY GARDEN
Looking through my UFO's I found this project I had started a few years ago --
it was folded INSIDE of another UFO..all the muslin bases were cut and so....
I sewed this block today:
It does look very different than the other two--many of the fabrics I had used are gone...
into THAT SEWING LAND OF NEVERMORE.....
.so, I will begin to incorporate different greens, purples and will add some yellow and maroon pansies, too..
the first block is very plain with a bit of
sky peeping through on the top left--but
I think I can add embroidery and
beading and some free form darker leaves.
This block:
on the other hand, is SO totally different--much darker--that I am now
thinking that I was just trying out different combinations of fabrics -- I
wish I had left myself some notes....quelle dommage!!
but, we'll see where this goes...
I just love pansies--they are so rich and velvet-looking...harbingers of
S P R I N G....

What a wonderful UFO find!! I love the fabric you've used in most of the outer pieces, I have some tucked away somewhere, now I need to go find!

ReplyDeleteHow nice to pick up an old project and work on it again. It is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteOh what a find. Those are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove your pansies
ReplyDeleteGreat find! I have too many lost, not yet found projects.
ReplyDeleteThese blocks are so pretty! I'm so glad you found this project!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project - I'm glad you found it and are going to pick up where you left off. Love the colours and the shapes - and I think introducing your new fabrics into the mix should work really well.
