I have the February Pallette for our challenge from Vicki W and Judy L. it is a picture of figs. good thing someone told me what they were....i didn't know.
There are 10 colors...quite a bit. but i didn't have much trouble pulling my fabrics. they are...right to left...pear, lime, grass green, avocado, nutmeg, coral, paprika, berry, raisin, black. these are Kona solids.
Now...the design. whooo!! i worked on it for a while a few days ago and had to quit. i couldn't decide and couldn't come up with something that i really liked. in the back of my head i kept thinking bargello....i've never made one. might be fun since it will only be about 18x24.
So today i got back in EQ to review what i had....and deleted it all. LOL and came up with this.
There are 8 blocks and i reversed and turned and switched to get the pattern....and gave myself a headache in the process. i printed it out and will paper piece each block. i sincerely hope i have marked them correctly. i have no margin for error. i only have a FQ of each fabric. Arrrkk!!
I really want to get started on this but actually need to finish up a couple other things first. i am leaving it at the studio when i go to the house so i am not tempted to start it tonight. hahahaha
I have a couple things at the house that need attention first. AND...my home and harvest hand applique is sitting in a corner waiting for me, too. i am once again getting in the 'too many ongoing projects' mode. got to finish up a couple so i have some breathing room.
So, off to the house to sew and have some dinner. hopefully there is dinner ready....and the super bowl didn't suck the cook into the game. LOL
Talk to ya
