I had some time to work on Chris' blocks during my last week in New Mexico. Once again, I enjoyed working on a project that gave me the opportunity to explore in an area that I might not have otherwise. The challenge for me was to stay within the "red, white, and aqua" color groups. I have always admired Chris' peaceful aesthetic sense in her home and her clothing...by making these blocks I got to experiment with her style of simple beauty.
Proportion was also something I was thinking about...trying to balance the size and location of the colored strips to the white.
Another great bee project, thanks Chris. Your blocks are in the mail!
Oh Jennifer, I am so excited to see your post! Thank you, I LOVE your work! Beautiful choice of fabrics and layout. I love that you chose to do 3 strips in each block. I spy one of my favourite Amy Butler fabrics in red and I really like that aqua swirl and floral fabric. Tres jovial! Can't wait for your blocks to arrive. Xx
