Happy Monday, everyone!
You may remember this from a WIP back in September, I was just playing with some fabric remnants I had. Because I got them from a friend who often gives me her scraps I'm not sure whether they're nylon, or parachute silk, but I like to think of them as having been intended to float lightly through the air, gently landing on the earth.
Anyway, back in the summer some time, I was literally playing with these fabrics, not really consciously aware of what I was doing, and before I knew it, I had the "top" done. I put it away, and really quite forgot about it until one Tuesday night, I was in my sewing room casting about for something for Wednesday WIP, and digging around I found this top, and was all "Oh right!"
So, having posted it about a month ago, I moved it to my WIP pile - it was actually folded and put back with my fabrics - I think I intended to take it apart at some point and re-use the fabric in another project - but having posted it, I knew it eventually had to show up as an actual quilt - so I quilted it up this weekend.
I love it's graphic brightness, but next time, I'll be more mindful when I'm actually putting a top together! :)
I'm glad you didn't take it apart; it's bright and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWell, it turns out, I like it too! :)
ReplyDeleteBeing that those are some of my favorite colors, I love the sharpness of the contrast, and the playfulness of the design.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Dee. I really like the contrast of the colours too - so much so, that I'll be sure to "play" with these colours in future again! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you didn't cut it up!
