Hi! Here are September's blocks for Lori's [Humble Quilts] quiltalong:
 |
| Hands and Shoo Fly |
 |
| Chubby Basket and Star, fixed now! |
 |
| background for big applique panel |
I love the hands! Heart-in Hand is a one of my favorite folkart motifs---and this is perfect, my hand and one for each of my kids!
Here is the original quilt by Lynda of Primitive Pieces, photo from book reprinted with her permission.
I didn't finish the tiny hands yet.
If you look closely at Lynda's quilt, below, you'll see the fingers extend into a spacer band at the top.
I don't want to sew my blocks together until I decide what/ how the two strips at the far right should look. I have a habit of my blocks not fitting together, so assembly and final stitching will have to wait.
Looking forward to October, can't wait to see what Lori has us do next!

I enjoyed seeing your version of the blocks. I left off the small pair of hands and did a dog instead. Hope you are having fun at the beach.

ReplyDeleteThe Lord Of The Rings will be a totally different story if Saruman uses your hand as his symbol.
