Turquoise guitar

this is how it starts...
The color of June at the rainbow scrap challenge is teal with limes. I choose to see teal as turquoise.

Here is my guitar, a free paper pieced pattern at paper panache (I think)

I love it except for the lime interior.
Wish I had put lime accents somewhere else.

Lets just pretend it's like Louboutin shoes that have red soles, shall we?

This is a limited edition Lana'sArt  guitar with a lime interior.





Get them while they're hot! What kind of person would play this guitar?  A Hipster for sure. Someone who knows the latest coffee craze. If it's a female she wears dangling earrings, has curly hair, lots of mascara.

There, now you can see the cool fabrics. And the set of guitars so far...

Beautiful! The lime pops for sure, but that isn't a bad thing.

Very hip! Love the blue one but then I can't think of much of anything I don't love in blue. ;)

I really don't see how you have the patience to paper piecing. All those TINY pieces!! Your guitar collection is looking very colorful and I'm wondering what color comes next.

Oh one cool cool gal who can play and sing at the same time in a husky voice (that always has floored me), and definitely-- long dangley earrings and leather hipsters and that long waist-length black shiney hair that just shimmers and ripples with blue black highlights---what a gal--personally, I like that lime interior--can you tell??? hugs, julierose

The "jeweled" interior shows well on that turquoise guitar!

Debra said...

Love the guitars and especially in those colors. Very cool. Wish I could make these!

oh yes!

Another cute one! I've made my block for the month already in a turquoise but just found a nice teal fat quarter and plan to make another. I already had made a lime block too. Fun summer colors.

You almost make paper piecing seductive. Thank you for letting me enjoy it vicariously.

It definitely would belong to a sultry female guitarist. It has that rich curlicue fabric. I agree the lime is like a jewel to complement her singing.

These are brilliant!

An incredible guitar collection!

Jayne said...

I am in awe of how you are sticking with this! Those guitars are just amazing and complicated!

Phil Slade said...

Those guitars are very inventive. As someone who can barely draw a matchstick man I am in awe of people with such artistic talent.

Love your teal guitar. It would make a great instrument for a glam rocker (you remember those days?). Very fun project.

You always come up with the most amazing things! :)

I have not seen your guitars - love them!

"I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
Teal my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Teal my guitar gently weeps

Teal is my second favorite color! Lovely block, thanks for sharing!!

I'm always blown away by your paper-pieced blocks! I love each and every one of them - the colors are always just perfect.

Cut&Alter said...

Oh I just love these guitars and the colours are awesome!!

Your guitars are just getting better and better! I am probably not cool enough to play the turquoise one, but would have fun giving it a try!

Angie in SoCal said...

Love your guitars!
