In an effort to be handwork accountable, I'm going to post pictures along the way of My Crazy Life. All the blocks are pieced but I can now see some areas that will need revision. That's OK. It happens.
I started the embroidery on the 1st block a few years ago. My initial idea was to have bold thread and trim colors against the predominantly pale blue background. I now think I should also introduce more black.
The whole block - measures 23" square. There are 9 blocks total.
I'm unsure what to do about the printed floral pieces; maybe some embroidery embellishment-not my strong point but I can try. I could also cover them with some plain fabric. I don't know but I'll think of something. Clearly this quilt has a lot going on so it will be a challenge to pull it together in a cohesive way.
That's supposed to be the fun of crazy quilting. It can also be the headache. Just sayin'

ReplyDeletePS Love the sugar Skull!
I may have to incorporate more of the sugar skull style in other blocks. I do like the vivid colors.
