I was working with the weathervane block seeing if I could change it to see if it looks more like a flower. I put a light center square, a circle for the stamens and pistol. And curved corner blocks on the 4 central blocks. The green corners I tried to quilt in a leaf pattern. What do you think?
Well, I think I like the regular pattern better, but it was worth trying - and since I didn't want to have an orphan block, I finished it into a little quiltlet. I'm thinking if I wanted to make it into a morning glory block, the center would be white not gold and I could use a blue batik for the flower parts and the center square in a white blue batik. I'll see as a real morning glory has a star with 5 points radiating from the center.
Well, enough - the computer is in the "hot" part of the house and I can't stand it any longer. Since I had a spell of heat exhaustion in 02, I start to feel nauseous when it's over 100. This part of the house has no ac, so back to the living room I go.
Stay cool!

The quiltlet is beautiful, Angie. I love how you take the initiative to re-work a pattern.
ReplyDeleteI like it. The green looks like leaves and the center a flower. Bingo.
ReplyDeleteI like it, too. It does look like a flower and could be used with weather vane blocks to create a whole different look.
