The Vase!

 

I've wanted to do a portrait quilt for a long time!

 

Here is my trial run!

 

A VASE!

 

And if I messed it up, I could have always thrown it out!

HA!

 

Not bad, though...

 

Huh?

 

 

I laid my vase on a green folder...it's looks funny, sorry!

 

This process was simpler than I thought it would be!

 

And SO much FUN!!!

 

I used 7 graduated colors, some were quite a jump!

But it looks fine!

Some fabrics were solid, some fabrics were died...

But it looks fine!

This shows me I can use any fabric!

The gradation doesn't have to be slight, it can be a bit of a jump!

The fabrics don't have to all solid, all hand died, all commercial!

You can do what you want!!!

 

I can't wait to make the portrait now!

 

 

 

IDEA!

 

I am teaching a paper pieced block of the month starting in July.

 

(This will be at an amazing quilt shop I teach at a lot.)

 

Would you like for me to do it on this blog as well?

Sew the pieces of life together!

 

It's a BEAUTIFUL quilt!
