The big dead limb on that tree has been hanging over my neighbor's driveway threatening to drop on their cars for a couple years. They called the landlord and the landlord said it is on city property. They called the city and the city said it was on the landlord's property. I guess they finally got it figured out and the city came yesterday morning to cut down that big branch and another smaller one above it.
Last night I got up enough energy to make 2 more crazy pieced blocks. Today I am hoping to finish the church banner. I will get a photo of it when I deliver it to my friend.
I really like the fact that you don't start each crazy pieced block with the same shaped center. I have seen tutorials that tell you to cut "x" number of the same shape to use as the centers. To me, that loses the magic of crazy piecing.
There were trim trimmers in the neighborhood where I live yesterday too - well, at least that is what it looked like. There was an awful lot of equipment, trucks, and men for just trimming a tree. Maybe when I go for a walk down that street I will be able to see easier what they were doing. Little by little you are getting those beautiful blocks made!
I made some crazy blocks a couple of months ago using lots of different colours - I loved the randomness and seeing how each block turned out - something I'll do again but with a colour selection in mind :)
I am interested to see what you do with yours. I made some crazy pieced blocks that all started with a white hexagon center. Some are all yellows or all reds, or all purples. Haven't decided what to do with them yet exactly. I may leave them hexagons or let the final round make them into squares.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Gene about the centers.
ReplyDeleteYour colors are luscious. Fun, free blocks.
ReplyDeleteWanda, that pile of batik scraps is so yummy I just want to dive in! Love how your blocks are turning out.
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are just great. I am so glad that they figured out the tree before the ice storms hit and pull it down.
