Suggestions for what to do with this square?
1 Attachment(s)
I read the book Simply Successful Appliqué, and made this great starter project. It's a 12" square. It scanned sideways, and looks like the flowers are of different sizes, but it's really all perfectly symmetrical.
I don't really want to make repeat squares or a pillow. I was thinking of using it as a center square of a three-piece table runner. And I was thinking of pieced squares or hearts... I don't know... the black is confusing to me. Ideas? |
It is beautiful. Be sure to use it for something special.

I love that. Your choice of colors is wonderful. How about an Ipad cover, outside of a tote. Personally I would find some complimentary blocks and make the table runner you suggested. Stay with the applique, you did a great job.

Table runner: So, maybe find two other appliqué blocks and do them on black, or change the background and maybe border the whole thing with black? |

Also: how to quilt it? Just free-form outline the shapes, maybe? The book has no gu I dance for that step!

It would make a nice center square for the French Braid runner pattern. I would do the braid parts in the bright colours from the square and do little black squares down the center of the braid.

Your block is beautiful. either table runner mentioned above would look nice with it. Let it set awhile and you will come up with an answer.
