Hi everyone!
I’m Janie and I live in the Seattle, Washington area. Here’s my version of the Vignette In Stitches quilt using the Riley Blake fabric line: Happier. I love this fabric; it has cute little birds and flowers and I think matches up well with the embroidery. I’ve changed up the floss colors a bit to go with the fabric. I also decided to do 9 patch blocks instead of the shoo fly blocks. All the 9 patch blocks are done and I have put together Blocks 2 and 3, Block 4 and Blocks 5 and 9. I will enjoy working with all these bright colors as the dreary winter settles in.
Block 1 is finished.
And here is how Block 2 looks:
This is a fun quilt to make and I am enjoying seeing all of your quilts as I am working on mine.
Have a great week!!
Very cute and still has the feel of the original even with the 9-patches. I have hesitated putting the date in the bird block as I fear the start date and end date may be a decade apart =(, but I like your idea of the extra flowers in the ring.
ReplyDeleteWhat delightful colors! A job well done. And you certainly have made it your own with the 9 patch squares. I already have my shoo-flies and really like them.....but the nine patch is equally complementary to the quilt. Have you seen the interior squares? I am thrilled. Just wish there were more hours in the day.
ReplyDeleteNo I haven't seen the interior blocks yet. I'll be ordering the new magazine in the next couple of days. I still have alot of stitching to do before I'll be ready to start the center.
ReplyDeleteWhy are the two screens ahead of your post?
ReplyDeleteI love your fabric choices. I am getting inspired to try to find a subscription in the UK
