Flower Power
This is just the first of several freeform flowers I am using as a filler on my Peace, Love, & Haight Ashbury quilt. These are a little easier to make than the lotus blooms—and a whole lot easier than lettering.
I just love the contrast of the orange thread against the greens in your quilt. I can't wait to put away my knitting needles and crochet hooks and start quilting. Elaine posted about Bonnie Hunter's mystery quiltalong, and now I can't stop thinking about it. It's all her fault, lol. o.O

ReplyDeleteJust reminds me of "Flower Power" Can't wait to see the entire quilt. I think Toni should follow her heart and do the quiltalong:}
ReplyDeleteGo go go! Keep at it. Loving all the hand stitching on the piece.
ReplyDeleteI like these a lot...that was really a smart idea to use that stitch to outline with. Everything shows up so good.
