I finally got month 6 mostly done for my Pieceful Country. As usual, I made some changes from the original pattern. I chose a lazy version of the Snail's Trail block by removing the checkerboard center and replacing it with a solid square. I did not make the heart block because I don't favor hearts, and the checkerboard block with stars in the corner may end up in this quilt later. Instead of the tree with the couple standing by it, I chose to string a little quilt on a line between two trees. I have not yet embroidered the line, but I will. Since my quilt is not red, white, and blue like the others I may as well go all out on the change in theme. I feel the original quilt is so busy and am choosing to add more white space to mine. The tree section does that.
I still may put a churn dash type frame around the tree section. I am waiting to see how it fits in with the blocks that go to the right.
I am also still playing with layout options. I like this one but am not sewing units together until they are all made in case I want to make changes.
I am linking up with Humble Quilt's Land of Liberty QAL linky party.

I really do like your version! That tree/quilt combination seems familiar. =)
ReplyDeleteOh! I love how your block looks with that mini mini quilt! It goes so well with the other blocks. Have a beautiful week!
ReplyDeleteWow, those are such fun and detailed blocks. It's going to be a stunning quilt!
ReplyDeleteI thought I was an odd beast to not be a huge fan of heart motifs. I am glad to hear that others feel the same!
