And because I'm seeing her in person, I felt ultra inspired (read that as....under the gun!) to finish this little ditty.
Tonya had sent me the L O V E letters many months ago, and I had set them aside because I didn't know how I wanted to set them. Then I started working on them...and they got set aside again. THEN they got LOST!!! Well, a few weeks ago they were found, baggied up inside another project. By this time I had started to re-make some of the letters, and what has resulted is a combination of hers and mine mixed up together.
I have decided to call this one "Love Lost, Love Found".
Jeff wanted to know why there is a purple part in the border. Did you ever have the occasion to give a 19 year old MALE a lesson on "Design Element"?? SO the next time he sees a beat up Honda on the road with one front quarter panel a different color than the rest of the car because they picked it up at a salvage yard...he'll probably tell me "Design Element!!"
The photos in the completed top don't do the colors justice. The pics of the 4 blocks are more accurate. I tried taking pics outside on the deck,but the red looks washed out and the purple isn't that color, and the pumpkin colored sashings look better than they do in the photos. But I think you'll get the idea.
No time to baste it and start quilting on it....it will have to wait for the next go round!
I'm back Wednesday night....be good! :cD
Very nice...have a fun time in FL with that super-fun quilting gal. TAKE PICTURES, too!!! :)

Have fun Bonnie!! There are lots of neat quilt shops in Florida - one near Clearwater is called "Rainbows End" - it is the largest quilt shop in FL and is located at 941 Broadway in Dunedin. There's a great place to eat just across the street (kitty corner). Always pair up a quilt shop adventure with a restaurant!! I hope FL is ready for the two of you :-)
ReplyDeleteHave fun!! There is a great quilt shop near Clearwater called "Rainbows End" - actually in Dunedin right near the gulf. I hope FL is ready for the two of you!! :-)

Love the colorful blocks, love the quilt top. And the next time I see a car with a different colored fender I'll think "Design Element" too. Either that or "Bonnie."
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Florida.
Hey Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you liked the quilt!
Thanks for the wonderful comment! You made my day!
Have fun in FL!!

ReplyDeleteI love the title of that quilt top! I've yet to try free piecing letters. It is so on my list of things to do.
Have fun in FL.
I second the emotion about Rainbow's End. I was there in Jan and I nearly lost my mind. I think Tonya may be in Miami though...maybe another trip. ~ksp
ReplyDeleteWhat ever the colors the design is delightful, as are the mix of letters! I hope that car is an Elemment. (we love ours) Although all parts are the same color to date! Have fun with girlfriend. Best time that! My Best Friend ever is coming up on Wednesday to go to the art gallery to see my work displayed there. Such a fun thing to share.
ReplyDeleteHave fun! Tell Tonya that there are people in NC who want to meet her!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is really cute. Love the design element ;-)
