Great splashes of colour, Rachael! Where will they end up I wonder? Another amazing quilt no doubt. I think the excitement of putting colours together is what draws me to sewing and quilting. My cousin who is an artist commented that quilting is my art form as he knows I can't draw to save my life. I think he is right. I "draw" with coloured fabrics and get an enormous amount of pleasure from doing that. Great therapy too! Your post was a bright start to a very grey Northern Hemisphere Sunday morning. Thank you.
What an explosion of colour! They look great but my favourites are all the blues. Wonder where this will end up? Something wonderful and original no doubt Rachael.
I love them all! They are so vibrant and happy. I don't think I'll ever finish all my projects; I see these wonderful blogs and want to start making some of my own immediately!!
A goal I set for myself this year was to work more with scraps...your post here inspired me! Thanks! Mind if I refer to this post in my blog when I share my travels as "a non-scrappy quilter learns to use scraps"?
Your mind is indeed a colourful place. Will be watching as we all will be....no pressure....can you feel all our eyes boring into the computer screens.....no pressure......watching waiting......no pressure....are you finished yet! NO PRESSURE!!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahaha.......cue the manic laughter.....😂.
Looks like very good therapy :) I am not always so good at just going with the flow. I will enjoy watching you go to it. Have you ever visited the blog " 15 Minutes Play"? Fun and amazing things created here.

ReplyDeleteOh yes!!!!! For me its all about the colours. I would find it very hard to contain myself to one or two colours.

You certainly can't feel blue when you have that much colour around you. (Pardon the pun) I wonder what you are up to now?
ReplyDeleteAmen to that ... and you certainly have some bright hues there to cheer you up.
