I am very happy with the black linen background but I am now in a dilemma as I have nine urn blocks and seven wreath style blocks. And the bottom left hand block worries me....do I separate them and make two small wall hangings minus that block??
Maybe I will just go for it and put the whole bang lot together and I am thinking of covering the block seams in a nice bright ric-rac...what fun. I already have a bright striped binding ready to go as well. Below is my very first folk style quilt that I made in 1995 - so good to utilise these designs on a smaller scale and I can't believe that I designed the quilt 17 years ago. 15 years ago William Morris kind of took over and now May Morris is waiting in the wings!
So back to the wool appliqué - I am ready to start the fun bit - embroidery and beading with my handy little reference books ready to go and one of them I purchased 20 years ago!!
How lucky am I? This beautiful gift was lovingly made by one of the girls who came on one of the William Morris tours this year....thank-you so very much Denise and I can't believe you knew I have a thing about ladybirds!!
I hope the world is treating all of you well with some luck just around the corner too X
If you put all four that have that bright blue in the center, I think it will look better and then you can use all 16 blocks in one.
