Sewing Saturday

I made some dark green lozenge blocks this week...first cut scraps and get organized

sew on corner squares, and make tiny HST's with the cut off bits... only 1 1/2" square

now what to do with this month's hst's?? I added in some whole dark green squares to make 6 larger sawtooth star blocks

join them with more little dark green squares.
64 tiny hst's, 48 tiny squares, to make the top which looked very unfinished at 8" X 14"

what if I added a strip section?
Unbalanced...
back to the machine

still needs more...

now we're talking... I can add in some little white blossoms, some grasses, some leaves and with the quilting it should look springy!



















Now I have two pretty pieces on the design wall to quilt!

when I went to pack away the lozenge blocks I pulled some of the other months out to see on the wall

I didn't pull out all the colors as they are all so close in value, light and dark greens, light blue, turquoise, orange! but it's going to be interesting.

I also finished a small art quilt this week, doing a painting lesson in combo with quilting: post here

It was almost a totally improv week. I never measured the hst's so they are a bit wonky, the strips are done in an improv way, let intuition lead the work. I have a poster in the studio that says get out of the way and the art will make itself.
Not exactly but I get it!
