It's for the main deck quilt. I am loving the geometric--almost retro-- look of this citrus-colored block. (If you are really an astute reader, you may be saying to yourself, "Gee, haven't I seen this block before?"
Well, since you asked, yes, you have. It's the same block I used for the pink/black artwork here.). It would take a gazillion of these to make just a small deck quilt to toss over the glider. Well, maybe not a gazillion. I could probably get by with 100 of them.
But do I really want to do that much work for a deck quilt?
I need to make a lot more than one quilt. I would need three other smaller quilts for the chair backs and a lot of pillows. If you are new to this blog, or don't remember the deck quilts, you can click here "Deck-or-ate" to see last year's quilt color scheme. I've used them for two summers now. They are still in perfect shape.
Oh, but I am so loving these new colors. Just look at sixteen blocks together.
I guess I will just sew merrily along until I get sick of it. If I end up with enough to do the deck, then I will. If not, this design would make a cool table runner.

ReplyDeleteYour citrus colors are reminding me that yes, the warm sun will shine upon my face again one of these days. I still have not dared to browse through my White Flower Farm catalog. You are very brave to begin ordering bulbs and plants for the coming season!
