creativity this week... Spring watercolor quilt

 

whew it will be good to see the back of this week!  Rainbow scrap challenge color is:

pastels

pretty much I worked on putting those tiny 2" squares together, each finishing at around 1 1/2" really making my quilt smaller 

19" X 22" ish. 

too small so I got these out to put on another whole row around this center...


then sew the pieced rows to the center matching edges... and my idea is to border with the larger pieces and prints

see some chosen, on the outside edge on the design wall

maybe some floral appliques after all that is done


close up... colors blend from block to block to create a scene


ridiculously hot and sunny here, our pup is sick, life is a challenge right now




when I'm stressed, I sort, so I looked thru my scrap bins and pulled out pieces that could be cut into 3" squares, 3  1/2" squares and 2 1/2" squares and plan to keep a little box of mixed color same shapes and sized squares for use later. 

it's calming to sort, don't you think? handling fabric is better than nothing
