MELANGE, et al

 

ZIpper blocks will be named from now on

"MELANGE"

Above ↑↑↑↑ is the dictionary definition

of Melange. [click to enlarge]

In our French Aunts' households, when I

was growing up, every week they

would gather the bits and pieces of

leftovers, not wanting or affording to

waste food, and put together

wonderful soups...

When I was visiting, 

"What's for dinner?" I would ask---

"Melange Soup" would be the answer.

and I would so look forward to our meal...

And I think that

Today's version might be called:

"Everything but the kitchen soup--soup!"

At any rate, I think of that when I look at

my zipper blocks all together on the wall--

a total mixture of styles and types

of fabrics....

This is not the final order, of course,

But here are the latest "makes"

These two 

and this one below

I first saw these made into a quilt

At Cathy's blog  {click}

wherein-- she also showed her

cousin Kim's  finished zipper quilt

and her own quilts

AND

I saw how her

 Kim's idea of adding

a lot of yellow 

made her quilt 

 glow with that color...

I am going forward for my

quilt with that idea in mind.

[Hope that's ok Cathy ???;00]

So, today 

I have 4 yellow sets ready 

to be sewn and I will see how

they appear in my grouping...

******************************

I hope you are all enjoying these 

last few days of Summer..

It is hard for me to believe

that my granddaughter, Fiona,

began Middle School today !!!!

and 

that my twin grandsons

entered their Sophomore

year in college!!!!

Y I K E S

I am an "Old One" for sure...
