And I saw this pillow, it's called SleepyHead...
I knew instantly that I wanted to use the Dapple as the background....so I pulled as many pastel Kaffe's as I had...
That in itself was a challenge because I tend buy the brighter red and pinks, but I am really happy with how this has turned out...have I told you before that Vliesofix is my best friend....
The pastels really pop against the dark background.
I used my Clover 1/4 bias tape tool for the first time, to make the vines...now that is a little tool worth making an investment in.
I am going to free motion quilt to outline the applique, at the moment the applique is ironed down with the fusible webbing (Vliesofix)...the problem is now I have a little voice in my head saying....make it into a quilt...make it into a quilt!!!
So I have the block pinned on a little curtain in front of my sewing machine so I can consider what I will do next...and of course the observant among you will have noticed I have about 15 little berries to apply.
Pillow or medallion quilt...what do you think?
Very pretty block.
ReplyDeleteI love your fabric selection.
I think you could add a round or two and either have a big fun floor pillow or it will tell you it wants to go on and make it a medallion quilt.
Fun!! Thank you for sharing.
What I THINK is that I LOVE IT!! Your fabrics are wonderful--go bigger :D
ReplyDeleteA wonderful pillow would be awesome. And you would be done!! I like it when my projects don't go on forever. :):) But, it is really up to what you need. Hugs
