I made it using the wonderful Arcadia fabrics mixed with some co-ordinating solids and, where I didn't have any fabric to fill in the triangles, the patio stones are filling for the moment. Here it is with the brown star at the centre and a sheet as the filler for the fabric gaps!
I really need to get off my backside and do something with these blocks but at the moment they're in the UFO pile awaiting some kind of a decision. I'm not in a paper piecing mood at the moment so they're going to have to wait a while before they end up being something - maybe a wall hanging. Maybe a few pillows. Maybe a table runner. Maybe a skirt. I'm just kidding. Shoot me if you ever see me walking around dressed in a patchwork item.
They're awesome, beautiful colours, and that pattern is so cool!! I always joke about making a patchwork jacket! I was once going to a quilt show out in the suburbs and was a bit confused at our Central Station about which train to catch. In the end I noticed ladies wearing various patchwork clothing and of course patchwork bags. I followed them and made it to the show.
ReplyDeletethis is awesome...this looks like a great way to spend a little time while you are enjoying spain.
ReplyDeleteThey are seriously impressive, especially with a bit of terracotta thrown in! the only patchwork item I wear is an oven glove! I have got a skirt I designed for a college project with a quilted bum area- at the back obviously- long and dark grey wool suiting with a bit of elastane but it is more urban texture sort of quilting- definitely not patchwork!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm just in awe of your mad quilting skillz! Seriously. Crazy.
