Oohhh Delicious….. I said out loud in my studio, squinting my eyes, and scrunching up my shoulders. I had just placed the two pieces of fabric together (the ones in the photo above). Something about those colors and patterns together make my mouth water. I often have a visceral reaction to colors and textures, it comes in handy when I’m making a quilt.
I was working on my “Hibernation Quilt”. It’s the piece I thought would be a part of my last quilt, Autumn Oak Leaf, but then decided they were really two different quilts.
Cozy and dark, like a long winters sleep under the fallen leaves of the oak tree. But this block of fabrics seemed to cute, too much like a folksy decoration you might buy in the Dollar Store. I wanted to move away from that feeling. So I cut off the big piece of maroon corduroy from the right side and…
….warm and rich, contrasting patterns, the dark forest floor and something grand for something so small…..
I still have to back it, but…yummy.…right?
Definitely yummy!
Yummy – I completely agree.
Delish…! Love it
Delicious winter. I cannot wait how you finish the back. Just outstanding work, MW.
Oh Yes….Yummy……it tugs on me to come and touch. Lovely !
Very yummy!!!
It is yummy. I love the rich colors. It feels warm and vibrant. I hope to one day have the money to buy one of your quilts. I especially like this one with the tree in the middle. It speaks to me.
Chocolate for the eyes….
Oh yeah, it is chocolate-like Suzanne.
Yummy! Yes…this is lovely.
Yes, yummy is right. It’s beautiful, Maria. Before I clicked on the bottom photo to enlarge it, the light played tricks with my eyes and I thought I saw a watery blue body of water along the body of your quilt. Really good job.
Whoops, I meant along the bottom of your quilt. 🙂
Lovely Quilt. Sorry I couldn’t come to Wilton yesterday, have a bad case of bursitis in both shoulders from raking leaves.
I hope you’re feeling better Uta. We missed seeing you there.
