Churn Dash and Wrench. The yellow in the Churn Dash is supposed to make you think of butter. Now, that Wrench is a mess, but that's the thing - I'm doing this for FUN, I don't care if they turn out wonky, at least I'm sewing and enjoying it. :) And ... on any of these blocks, I can always make more if I want to try to re-do one, or try other fabrics. It's all MINE! But you know, I've had a blast seeing the other blocks on the internet. :)
Also on that Wrench block, I picked that pattern remembering my granddads and my dad, using tools on farm and homestead and working on things. So I used a couple of fabrics that reminded me of men's shirts.
Big Dipper and Broken Dishes. I had to use that turquoise-red fabric in connection with "dishes," because it makes me think of a 1950's kitchen.
I loved seeing your FW sampler blocks! This is the theme I picked for my quilt group. We are making 50 of them for our sampler but I am making two of 25 blocks each as I did not want a large quilt.
ReplyDeleteDoing patchwork is all about having fun...you are right! I love how you picked your blocks and fabrics to fit your memories. I look forward to watching this grow...
