I made more double 4 patch blocks and then decided to see if there was any other fabric i wanted to try in the alternate blocks. I really want to use this teapot fabric in something. I notice in the photo that it is a one way design and I have 2 blocks turned the wrong way. I'll continue making blocks and auditioning fabrics and the answer will come some day.
I like the combination of the 4 patches with the 16s. It gives your eye a place to settle on. I love the teapots...they work well even on their sides..lol. I always seem to turn a directional fabric the wrong way.
I had to look twice to see the teapot fabric. I thought the entire piece was 16 patch blocks! I have some pastel floral 16 patch blocks I started some time ago. I will have to move them up to the top the UFO pile after seeing how beautiful your top is coming along!
I visit your blog often. It really should come with a warning label. "drool alert, get yourself a hanky before proceeding further" I drool all over my keyboard each time I visit and get excited by all the pretty colors.
Anyway, I wanted to email you but my computer won't let me use your email link. Just wanted to let you know some spam is showing up in your comments. I saw them as I looked at your posts then read some comments. One that I remember off the top of my head is the January 2 post comments. The last one at the bottom. I recognize the spam because stuff like it shows up on my blog frequently. I can give you my email estesanita at bellsouth dot net just in case your computer won't let you email me either.
I come to your site for inspiration and color and to be uplifted from the rut of same-old, a break from my day job that puts a smile on my face. Thanks!
Its so much fun to just play some days.
ReplyDeleteThe teapots were one of the first things I noticed! They are super cute. And, as usual, I love all that color!

I notice you have at least two die-hard Beth fans :)

ReplyDeletedirectional fabric is always so hard to use. The colors, however, look great with the blocks.

ReplyDeleteFWIW - I love that orange print. (But I also love a 16-patch quilt without alternating blocks...)

The teapots made me smile - they are fun!
