I worked on the Ohio Star kitty blocks; seaming them into a top
and then took the leftover triangles and sewed them into half square triangles.
My thought was to use them for a border.
When I put them up on the design wall-my eyes jumped around like crazy!
To me, it is just too busy!
I will use the hst's for another quilt-perhaps as windmill blocks!
And for my art of the day, I did a lot of drawing!
This one is from a picture in the newest KnitPicks catalog (p35, I think!)
and I thought I would give it a try in my journal!
It was fun every step of the way!
Back to guessing blog paintings tomorrow!
Yes, the second way is much better. Pretty!!
ReplyDeleteFinally on my computer to comment, my phone and blogger don't play well together. Love the kitties, fabric and paper! The socks are wonderful, the painting lesson just perfect! Good point about signing your work. Have a good Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteI like both border options! Cute kitty painting!
ReplyDeletei do love busy borders - but ... i also like your calming one... it settles those crazy cats down a bit!! haha!
ReplyDeleteThat snoozing kitten is adorable. I like both border options, but agree the one you chose highlights the blocks better.
ReplyDeleteI usually enjoy the busy borders and "eye-jumping", but you're right as usual. The second is much better.
ReplyDeleteThat drawing is perfectly adorable and I recognized it right away.
Blessings,

Oh the drawing is so cute. I love your game with us and the drawings! Lovely quilt
ReplyDeleteI am catching up backwards, so I’ve already seen the busy border turned into pinwheels instead — I agree! Good decision!
