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...
