New Project
A few weeks ago, I saw this pattern by Lizzie Be Cre8ive Designs at Gina's. So, I picked it up thinking this would be a perfect hand work piece - simple and fun.
It's called Piece, Love & Applique. The hardest challenge I have found is picking the fabrics for the feel I want. After visiting a few fabric shops and even picking out 2 different "focus" fabrics, I decided on using the tones and colors in this piece (which will be used for a few of the blocks as well):
I have all my fabrics to get started now and I piece my first section - this pattern is done by months, was a BOM program.
I'm working on the applique now and hope to finish it in the evenings over the next week.

ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this pattern before but have some others of LizB. Took a class with them one time and it was so much fun and I learned quite a bit when I was just starting applique.
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of choosing a focus fabric to guide your other fabric choices in the quilt. Very smart! The fabrics you've chosen so far look perfect. I can't wait to see more! :)
