The start is the beginnings of a new quilt. This is a quilt that has been queued up to be made for well over a year now, and I've been struggling to come up with a plan which felt good. I think a lot of the problem is that the only thing I have to go on with this quilt is that it has to go with a particular wall of wallpaper, and unfortunately, don't tell anyone, but I really don't like the wallpaper. That's felt like quite a tricky hurdle to get over for me. I finally came up with something that 'interested' me a couple of weeks ago, and to be honest, I'm really not sure it's going to be a success, but I decided this week I just need to make a start and see how it goes.
So 2 blocks done, and I'm still really not sure it's going to be a success! But I'll persevere a little longer.
Perhaps I might need to try and engineer a change of wallpaper instead though!
Anyway, for a bit of cheering up, light relief, I made some patchwork feathers for my tiny finish. I have long fancied making some patchwork feathers, but I've never come up with a 'reason' to make them. Well, this week, just wanting to make some felt a good enough reason.
And here is one which has already now found a purpose, predictably on a hair band!
The others may end up on hair bobbles or clips too, I haven't decided yet. But they were all fun to make.

I can picture your blocks making a lovely quilt, Sally. As single blocks they don't necessarily catch my eye, but I think they'll really work as a whole quilt. Love the patchwork feathers. I wonder if petals could be done the same way.
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely keep forging ahead on the blocks, I think you have something there. LOVE the feathers.
ReplyDeleteJust a desire to create is enough of a reason. I love your feathers. Will watch this quilt grow with interest!! X
