There is so much information, and so many wonderful people in the blog world. For the past week or so, I had been stuck in the creating process. In my usual unorganized manner, I looked through Pinterest, viewed tutorials, pulled books and magazines…and got nowhere. Then I visited with quilters and associates at the Mesquite Bean Quilt Shop. I purchased the Floral Pets fabric, but still had no real plan. I just knew that I wanted to do something different than the free pattern.
That’s where Melanie McNeil enters the picture. I read her post, Project Process, and that was the jump start I needed. Each step of the process got me closer to visualizing what I wanted. I am now “executing chosen solutions”. Thank you, Melanie!
Yesterday’s Work
Today’s Work
The blocks are still not in final order. I have run out of Kaffe Fassett floral remnants, so, I guess I will be making another trip to a fabric store. 😉
Right now, it still looks pretty traditional. My plan is to jazz it up…somehow.
I need to repeat steps 1-3!
One option,a common framing fabric of the pet pieces that joins them together. Perhaps the white polka dots!
Good idea. Black dots on white or white on black? I know it needs some B&W and I was thinking of making flying geese strips between each row. Thanks for the input.
These floral pets are cute! Regarding Christine’s comment, my vote is small black dots on white.
Thanks. I have some fabric like that in my stash.
Sigh…forced to visit a quilt shop…oh the horror. Hope you made it through 😉
I love the floral pets!
I just left the shop with a lighter wallet and a happy heart.
Awesome!
