Hello, bright raspberry pink!
This block makes me smile - the colors are so vibrant and upbeat. This time I started by placing the large Amy Butler Soul Blossom square at the center. Then, I placed my scraps flowing outwards from that square, making sure to include a few angles as usual and a bit of a Lecien selvedge too!
I love how puffy and soft each scrap feels one they're quilted. And now I have a very ::WARM:: set of Bottled Rainbows!
I'm trying to decide if I'll jump to the opposite corner to play with the blues and teals, or if I'm going to keep building on with adjacent blocks. Of course it doesn't really matter.... I guess I'll have to decide in the heat of the moment ;)
I hope you don't mind if I share another glimpse of spring. I stopped in our driveway to take this snapshot of our front yard right from the driver's seat. The effect is definitely out-of-focus. But, if you look at it with some imagination, it's almost painterly.
I just can't get enough of gazing at the dogwoods in bloom. Dogwoods are my favorite tree, and they just so happen to grow wild in the forests of South Carolina. The azalea are beginning to blossom too - it's almost painfully gorgeous!
Wow!! Beautiful!
ReplyDeletePretty blocks! I am so jealous that you have blossoming trees! We're still trying to get the snow to melt here!
ReplyDeleteI love this pink color!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blocks and equally sensational color along the road. Wow. We're still waiting....
ReplyDeleteI can hardly stand that this is your front yard! So pretty - it's still winter here in Chicago. Thanks for the peek at spring!
ReplyDeleteYour raspberry block is yummy and that pic of the trees/shrubs in bloom is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeletePainfully gorgeous is exactly accurate. Wow.
ReplyDeleteGetting my sewing room back in shape and going to start a bottled rainbow next week. I am SO HAPPY I stumbled upon your blog.
I agree about your front yard! And your blocks are quite beautiful, too!

ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous new block, and a gorgeous front yard!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt blocks are fabulous.....I wish I had that kind of range of colors in my stash.....one day!
ReplyDeleteThe pic of your side yard is just gorgeous! I love dogwoods! But we are too far north for them (Maine). As it is, I'm going to have to drive down to Massachusetts in a little while to get my fill of the Magnolias. We're still covered in snow!
Thanks for the little bit of spring!
love the blocks! and your picture makes me want to become a fairy and live amongst the trees. And trust me, I'm not normally that sentimental. It's just sooo beautiful. I'm pretty sure that angels live there.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks. Beautiful trees!
