I have 12 Hattie's Choice blocks sewn and up on the design wall. I can see just from the assortment I have made that it could have 2 grids, one cool and one warm, overlaying the background of black and white. I have 2 different light background fabrics right now but the black batik is all the same fabric. I have enough more of it to do 2 more blocks and then I need to look for another black to add in.
I have a binding to do today on the second quilt to finish this month. I never got to it yesterday.
The stalk on the waxed Amaryllis bulb didn't get any taller and it feels like the bulb is disintegrating inside the wax. I'm happy it has gotten this far and hope it has enough energy to go ahead and bloom.
It looks like it will have at least 3 flowers. I'll talk nice to it and give it a lot of encouragement.
I have a second red cactus in bloom and it has 3 more buds.

These blocks really are just so pretty. I'm very tempted to buy this die but have been trying to use "what I have" this past year. Your fabric choices, as usual, are perfect.

Just a gorgeous amaryllis...spectacular color!!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt pattern really highlights the white diamonds from afar..so
pretty...hugs, Julierose
This quilt is really pretty! Are you thinking warms in one and cools in another? The black and white alternate shines too.
ReplyDeleteI love what you have going with Hattie's Choice! I would use both the cool and warm blocks in one quilt, as the combo gives off a lot of energy. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI bet Hattie would be thrilled to see the fabrics you have used for her pattern. And your waxed amaryllis has really put on a show for all of us too. Thank you for sharing It's my kind of plant, I'm really good at forgetting to water my plants.

I'm thinking you are using your die cutter for Hattie's Choice. I love that block. I don't have a die cutter so I guess I should look for templates. I so enjoy following you along on your quilts
ReplyDeleteI do sometimes put a little water in my waxed amaryllis. I think they appreciate it.
