Anyone who has worked with flower arrangements or any design knows about the magic of three. While working on Lisa's quilt, I have used that same idea --there are twelve blocks with three flowers in each one. Each flower has three layers to mimic the ones in the Amy Butler fabric she loves. The multiplication tells me there are nine applique pieces to each block and 108 appliques pieces total. Each one to be traced, cut out, pressed on, and now to be sewn around --with three colors of thread -- green, blue, and brown. What was I thinking? It will be gorgeous when I am done, but the sewing will take forever. At least, I am doing it by machine.
The blocks alternate blue and green with multi-colored striped fabric as the sashing. It sounds crazy but it replicates the Amy Butler fabric in color and somewhat in design. The power of three creates triangle patterns between the blue and green blocks. I'm still feeling the joy!
