Yesterday's circle was an elephant. I thought I should make sure there is at least one elephant in my quilt. I like how the background fabric looks like the elephant has a tusk! I also like how the elephant fabric made a design on his forehead and has a circle for the eye. I attached a separate fabric for the ear; it's subtle but it is there.
And I started yet another project. I've had Sujata Shah's Cultural Fusion book for a while now and it has been calling and calling me. I kept making it wait since I wanted to finish something, but I broke down to start it. This quilt makes me happy. I'm making two blocks with the same colors, which makes it go even faster, and makes it easier to chain piece and make sure I have something underneath the needle at all times without needing a leader/ender.These blocks (I'm making them half the size as in the book) are so quick to make. A few seams and I appreciate the way I combined the fabrics, a few more seams and the block is done already. And then it is time to choose two more fabrics to combine. Most of my brights seem to be tone on tone, but I want to add zippy, energetic fabrics as I go along.
