something else....and here is what I have begun to add:
..... searching for some thread, I came across a stash of my old scrapbooking stamps and permanent ink pads....VOILA!!!!! I stamped images of ladies dotted across my blocks and appliqued flowers and leaves as head-dresses on them:
--here is a closer shot....
AND....
So far, I am liking the look of them--how well they will all go together is another story......BUT.
It sure is fun "fussy-cutting" them and sewing them on.
AND----All these blocks will have to be quilted--
I have to decide if I will try "quilt-as-you-go"--which intrigues me; or if I should just back the whole thing with another top or even a piece of flannel....decisions, decisions....
I really feel as if I am stepping out of my comfort zone with this project --which, of course, I never would have even thought of if it wasn't for Jude Hill's" Spirit Cloth" blog and her weaving class that I took online. (Thank you Jude for being such a terrific teacher and insipire-er) It really opened me up to a new way of looking at fabric and quilting. I love working without a pattern and playing with cloth like this....
