Green, green grass of home...
I seem to have a lot of green in this bag. There were a few long strips so I started piecing and cutting and have ended up with this.
At this point I have not decided whether to add lots of straight line stitching and do something like this or this, or whether to try and use up those scraps a bit quicker by throwing a load of applique at it :)
There were lots of smaller bits left over and so I have pulled out the embellisher again and added them to a scrap of wadding.
This will be kept, cut up and added to some future pieces.
Both remind me of a patchwork of fields, hence the title, which might give me some direction in what I do next.
Stay tuned!
Looking at these photos I see the difference in the greens. The first were taken in rare sunshine.
The last in the ever present rain!
Your scrap bag must be like Hermione's hand bag ;-)) do you use a special batting when you run scraps through your embellisher or "just scraps of batting" no matter what quality?
ReplyDeleteThese are incredible - I really love them
ReplyDeleteAlmost like watching the fields go by when your on a plane
I love stitching my scraps together to make small quilts, but mine are usually prim style, maybe I need to think about more art styles for my brighter shades.

I like the embellished piece very much.....a great banner to be? Or a toran?
ReplyDeleteDeborah, seriously, we need to be next door neighbors! Green Green Grass of Home; a song from my childhood! Lovely, and I like the style of hte piecing you've done. Never tire of lime green...
