“Tell Me A Story”
WARNING:
Amy Friend’s blocks in her quilt “Tell Me A Story” are addictive!
(Her book, just out, is INTENTIONAL PIECING and her blog is http://www.duringquiettime.com)
She can’t resist them either–and the new ones she is making are on Instagram and the blog.
Here are my first ones–made yesterday afternoon, where I spent some sewing time just playing.
The idea is to make some connection between the fussy cut center of the block and the borders:
I chose a soft salmon/peach color for my background…
I don’t know how this block center got “turned.” I make take it apart and recenter it. Not sure if that is possible though…
I like the Indonesian fabric with the tiger…
I’m not sure I can resist making a few more of these blocks this afternoon…
