for this round of the Stay at home Round Robin, the prompt is to use curves...
lots of fun curvy fabrics in my tropical stash
hibiscus, hula dancers, flamingo necks, sandwomen, and seashells!!!
I looked online for a free seashell pattern and printed out this from Sewhooked.com
I resized it to finish at 3" and printed 6 of them
I got out some pinks
loving the satin pink with sparkles on it
I wanted a base for them so I just made one for each!
do I want them on the side?

| ooops already sewed two side by side... |
or along the bottom?
so I'm having a good time with this but it is rushed. I do not generally like mystery quilting, I like designing my own, so the real challenge for me is not getting it done although it's tough doing four challenges all at the same time. It's not knowing the next rows, and how I prefer them to be laid out.
As I've said before, I have artistic license to make it my own design while still playing along with the themed blocks. Not as much fun as a day at the beach but still a lot of fun!

I love the seashells, especially in those pinks! I feel the same about the unknown in mystery quilting, but you have embraced the challenge wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun! Your curve units are very creative and cool!
ReplyDeleteOMG - the seashells are perfect for this! The colors you chose just work so well together. Wow!
ReplyDelete3" seashells, yikes. But they are perfect for this piece. And remember, it may be a challenge (or 4), but if you're not having fun, then it may be time to rethink doing all of them.

Clever idea for your curves. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThe seashells are perfect. This is going to be such a fun, tropically happy quilt!
ReplyDeleteSuch fantastic fun!! Pretty, curvy seashells, gorgeous pink flamingoes, fabulous batiks.......all are splendid. I too have curves; probably too many. =)
ReplyDeletelooks like fun...very cute and tropical!
ReplyDeleteSince flamingos get their color from the shrimp they eat, is there a paper pieced shrimp you could add?
ReplyDeleteTHose sea shells are just adorable and go very well with the pink flamingo!
ReplyDeleteLove those shades of pink! 💗
ReplyDeleteI would tend to hold off until I saw the other prompts before adding my shell blocks, but I do like them on the side! You can still add curvy sand below the flamingo. This is going to be so wonderful! Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
