The latest block in this quilt -a-long was issued on Monday..... I still had not done the last one!! SO I thought I had better get organised and make it! xx
So I made a start last night by choosing the fabrics I wanted to use.
As you will remember I said I wanted to move away from the light/rainbow colours that I used in the first few, last time I started this by making the blue/purple one..
SO .... what did I go with?...
I really like it, it is now a cushion
NOW I had better start and look at the next one xx
OH! I just remembered I was asked why these (which have now gone to Australia)..
where rejects? Well. the colours (PINK) did not work for me, and, while as 2 halves they laid flat ...they worked. As 1 whole they WOULD NOT play nice together... no matter what I did!! So they became the placemats xx
Keep smiling

Oh that is one gorgeously dramatic NYB!x
Wow lovely work as usual; question : is the speed you work these projects in down to the fact you are well practised or just a naturally quick worker. I think I have a lot to learn.
Take care and love your colour choices very dramatic

Your New York Beauty blocks look perfect! I always say I'm going to try but I still haven't done it! Your pillows look so nice all together!
The black and red beauty is wonderful!
You make those blocks looks so easy. They look great. Love your bright colors.
That cushion is just gorgeous. The colours really jump out at you.
What striking cushions and the new one is going to add a really dramatic note.
now that was a really brilliant idea!
Really great. And I can't help but wonder if I had something to do with the colors for the newest pillow? If I have to take the blame, I will no problem.
I love your new York beauty. I think blacks and reds are striking.
