The partially completed block I showed yesterday is now finished. And it’s bright. Almost need your sunglasses bright. I think I may do a series, as Wanda at Exuberant Color does, of small quilts with these blocks. That way I can play with the colour combinations as much as I want, play with the layouts as many ways as I can think up, and just generally have fun. I’m going to print some more shapes from the 12″ Sunflower collection and do quarter blocks that will play with the NYB 1 and 2 collections. Some will be for the Tiffany Lamp quilt, some for the more muted Monet type effect and some will be … well, I don’t know quite yet.
Even with the thicker metallic fabric it still presses like a dream. And, of course, grading the seams as I finish the block helps.
We had a lot of rain and a couple of little thunderstorms yesterday. I hope that’s it for the rain for a while as the window cleaners are about to do our windows.
This shot of Baxter was taken last week but the look on his face makes me laugh so I couldn’t resist using it.

I love each block that you make!! It just amazes me that they are all by hand. Baxter looks like he is ready to fall asleep.

Your little blocks are so vibrant, and seeing them is a great treat! Baxter appears to be looking down his nose at something…..mere mortals, perhaps?

What a great blog Wanda has!~ Thanks for sharing!~ I’ve bookmarked it and plan to go visit her again soon. I bet the window cleaners are a hoot to watch!~ Being a country girl, that fascinates me!~ what a job to have! Not for me… However, somebody has to do it! Take a photo for us please! 🙂
These blocks are so pretty. Just striking! I’m not sure you could do them in a fabric that would NOT look good!~ However, these seem especially fitting.

It looks like we have both been in the NYB mood. 😉 But yours looks so much more sophisticated! I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by how fast one block goes. It was definitely a skill builder for me. I did it by machine, but I have a feeling one would probably have better control doing it by hand.
