I had a lot of the Lipstick Cowgirl turquoise to gray ombre fabric left over after cutting out the pieces for the Modernized New York Beauty. I just loved the fabric so much that I decided to make another quilt with the ombre as the background. The pieces left over were mostly the gray to the lighter turquoise, plus some of the darkest turquoise at the edges. The trick was to design a quilt using what I had left over. I looked at several ideas, and then just decided to do improv. I had been looking at some of the elongated or melon shapes that some quilters are now using, and decided that was the direction for this piece. Here are some of the pieces that I've made and put up on my design wall.
I made all of these pieces as rectangular blocks. I have no idea how I want to sew them together, or how large I want the piece to be in the end. But, I like the start of it!
And I hope you like the start of it too!
