Happy Monday and it's June!
Summer officially starts the 21 of June. We're enjoying the longer days, it starts getting light here around 5:00 A.M. The birds start singing early and want everyone to wake up with them.
Good times.
This post is inspired by Debbie Jeske @A Quilter's Table. This month she is hosting her group of improv quilt friends @ Bee Sewcial and the challenge is 'Homage to Gwen Marston' by creating a 'sketch' focusing on Gwen's liberated style. To be pieced using reds and white!
So I got excited about that and pieced two blocks for the challenge and fun.
Thanks Debbie and thanks Gwen Marston.
Have a good week and enjoy the birds.
Have you seen any swallowtail butterflies yet?
I'll be by to visit!
oh I love this! So glad you were inspired by the challenge, Janie. Thanks for telling me so I didn't miss it. I especially love the center of your star. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debbie. The center of the star, the hourglass, yes, I used your liberated piecing method that I learned in your class last summer at the Gossipium Quilt Shop in Issaquah, WA!
DeleteCan hardly wait to see what is next with the liberated red blocks! I love the long days this time of year.
ReplyDeleteUsing only two colours shows off the block design. Red and white make a striking contrast.
ReplyDeleteNo butterflies here as yet - at least not that I've seen. Your red blocks are great - do you plan to put them together into one small quilt?
ReplyDeleteThat's a great challenge; I'm not surprised you decided to join in. I love the rhythm of the piecing in the log cabins.
ReplyDeleteI love that star. Just today i found a Gwen Marston book in the library, so that will be interesting reading for me. Lets see how liberated I become.
