I Started With A Plan. . .


Working LOOSELY from this drawing and making use of leftovers from previous work, I started a new stripey piece. Most of it is my hand dyed cottons, but there are some Kona and Classic Cottons from Joann's mixed in. Whatever works.
At this point it measures about 75" long and about 19" wide, and of course I will be adding more to the width.


Here's a closer look at the top half and then the bottom half. I may have left out a bit of the middle. It's hard to photograph a long skinny piece.
I am entertaining names, like Jelly Beans, Cotton Candy, Juicy Fruits or some such title. Maybe I am just hungry?

PS. And the name is:   My Favorite Crayons

Plans are good - I sit for hours before the sewing machine touches the fabric.

A plan is good...maybe I should try that sometime, I would probably save myself hours of grief. It looks great...love the colours.

Far more vibrant than those sweeties...it deserves a more majestic name!

I love your quilts and your sewing methods, and the bright colors. One day I will make one too, but not in February. Next month perhaps.

I love it....another one that just makes you feel good. I especially love the square of triangles...for some reason they really caught my eye.

It reminds me of Fruit roll ups. Especially the sticker ones that they showed on TV a few years ago.

Beautiful colors! Tropical splendor?

Brita said...

Crayola! That's the name :-) The little blocks between make it so interesting.

What about calling it Candy Cravings since all the titles seem to be of actual candies. It is very yummy looking.
