Scrappy Saturday - A Finish!



After I finished making Colorful Crumbs 
I used the leftover pieces to make a mini quilt.

Last week I quilted it using a three-line
variation of Leah Day's Loose Weave design.

Late Friday morning the quilt and I
went on an outdoor photo shoot.

(oh, how I have missed my around-town photo shoots . . . )




Sunning itself near a blue bicycle rack in Overton Square.




Resting on a colorfully-designated parking place 
reserved for Uber and Lyft vehicles.




Hanging out near the entrance to the 




 Love the stone, concrete, and bark textures;
not to mention that first blush of pink 
and gentle hints of green on the tree branches.




Another marvelous stone wall along the paved walkway.




This 2016 sculpture is named Rhapsody
and is absolutely stunning in person.

Fun photo shoot...reminds me of those gnomes that go on vacation with people and end up here and there in photo shoots. Where will your quilt end up next???

what a neat little piece. I love the B&W stripey binding and the quilting is just fab.
wonderful photo shoot around town. Inspiring post :)

patty a. said...

Beautiful piece! I have to ask though - how did you temporary mount the piece on the stone wall so you could take the picture? It seems to just magically hang there!

Mary Ellen said...

I love this quilt. The quilting pattern is great. Think I will try this soon. Actually I like all your quilts. Every single one. Haven't seen a bad one yet.

Such a nice splash of colour on the landscape!
