I'd prepared the petals a few days ago and pinned them to the backgrounds all ready to applique. I sat down yesterday and while I watched Ozark (have you seen it?), I appliqued the last of the ones I had prepared. The preparation takes a little while but once that's all done, they sew up quite quickly and I'm really enjoying the process.
To keep track of which block is which, I write the date on the back behind the petal. So far, it's working well.
Fun fact - there was one day in January when the low/high temperature didn't vary more than 3 degrees C which is why there's a block that is yellow on yellow. I wonder how many more of these I'll come across through the year.
Orange Peel quilts are a 'go to' for me when I want to create a simple quilt with variety and interest. I am not the best at hand appliqué, so I machine appliqué with a blanket stitch.
ReplyDeleteYour bright colors are interesting and soothing. Thanks for the reminder about the beauty of this design.

The colours look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is so cheery with those colours. I have seen all seasons of Ozark. A bit dark yet strangely entertaining.
ReplyDeleteYour temperature quilt is beautiful, I love the bright colors!
