Hi - just a short post today. This is Block #2 of my Images of Africa quilt from three years ago. Again, not one of my favorite blocks, but those will come soon enough. Nothing much to explain on this one; images were fussy cut and fused. Flowers near center are silk ribbon embroidered, lace near bottom was dyed, but not by me. It was a lazy block, LOL. And it’s true that sometimes the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, because as I go back and study these individual blocks, I realize I was caught up in the colors, theme and textures, not in the creativity, inspiration and technical execution.... :-) And so it goes sometimes.....
And ... a quick reminder of my July 1 announcement. Here are a couple short hints: there’s a giveaway involved, and some lace, too. I’ll give a couple more hints tomorrow.
Hugs,
It's like driving I suppose. There are a lot of things to consider at once when patchworking.I am finding this too.I'm a beginner. I tend to get too involved with the small details, and forget about design...

ReplyDeleteAfter clicking on the picture and taking a closer look, I noticed the appliqued lady and other surface embellishments. Lovely.
