This month's Bee Sewcial @beesewcial prompt came from Karen @capitolaquilter - Leaf Study. She asked for abstract, whimsical leaves, in the spirit of her previous Fantastical Flowers prompt (see my response here). For a palette, she chose a throwback to her very first prompt, Reflections, based on the Capitola Venetians.
Karen said she was fine with our blocks being on the larger side, which is a good thing, as both of mine definitely were. The first was inspired by a ginkgo leaf, and measures approximately 13" x 21".
Then the second block, inspired by a broad, tropical leaf, ended up measuring 12" x 24", but obviously has a lot of room for trimming.
Karen is fine with untrimmed blocks, so I'll leave both of these as shown, and get them mailed off soon.
I can envision the inspiration for both blocks/leaves, and I am especially drawn to the ginkgo you created. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteA leaf study, that's unique. It's good to shake things up a little. A fun challenge and your piecing is amazing.
