Rose Basket
31 July 2009
Another recently started cut-and-not-yet-started-to be-sewn-project is a rose basket wall hanging. I made myself a little crazy on this one by purchasing four batiks that I really liked instead of only the three that I needed. I liked all four of them equally well, and I liked all four of them together so it made it difficult to eliminate one.
Did I like the roses against the lovely gray batik or against the dark one better? The dark won out. My inspiration for this quilt is a photo that has a black background so the dark gives the effect I was originally going for.
The decision on the background helped with the fabrics for the basket. After I got all the fabrics home, I liked the dark with one of the batiks I bought for the basket. But I couldn’t use it in the basket if I was using it for the background. These two fabrics made an appearance together in the 9 patch block for my Inklingo Sampler.
So these two won out for the basket design which I realize makes no difference whatsoever to any of you because you haven’t seen any of the design idea. Teehee. Another Top Secret Area 51 project maybe? Probably not since I’ve given away too many details and even shown you some of the roses…
