My good friend Lizzy
and I
are both starting to make this
Jan Patek quiltlet ....
I don't know how large I want to go
as yet so these are just the first few
trial blocks...
Here is the start of my first block
and the fabric for the second one...
You can see the green I chose for the stems
above...
Four little posies begun....;))))
And just to show how differently we all
see these blocks --
here is the first
of Lizzy's below...
I just really love her fabric choices for the petals
...and those cute polka dot leaves...
I need to choose fabrics
for my leaves and centers yet
I am just using what is in my stash...
I couldn't come up with any good
yellows--as that would have been
my first choice also..
.
And note how she has, like the pattern,
made one leaf different...
I missed even noticing that!!!
I really love your take on this Lizzy
💛💛💛
S I G H.....😓
I will definitely do that on the next few...
*****************************
Earlier this week, when we had a lovely,
warm day; I sat out on our deck and
worked some more on
quilting "Lollipops".
that was so relaxing ,,,,
********************
Here is the last rose from my Mother's Day
bouquet slowly fading away...
I just love the colors...
**************************
I have put my Jelly Roll "Pips" away for the
time being as I really didn't like how the rows
came together at all....
I like "scrappy", but this looked like a
total hodge-podge to me!!
So......
I am taking a break from "jelly rolling"
for a bit to have a think about it and the
others I have as yet to be used...
Perhaps a TAW and or 16-patch piece....
We shall see....
Hugs on a rainy Saturday
and Happy Memorial Day Weekend
to you all💙
