| "Summer Breeze" 52" X 68" |
"Summer breeze, makes me feel fine. Blowing through the jasmine in my mind."
The six inch pinwheel blocks are composed of leftover background pieces from "Out of the Blue", I had a box full. Truth be told, I likely still have enough for yet another similar-sized project!
The top was sashed with an "audition" fabric that I had purchased for another quilt. It's an Essex Yarn-dyed Linen, the color is "Leather". It didn't work in the trial quilt I had in mind, but I love it here! I had just the right amount. While rummaging through the stash closet I came across a piece just perfect for the backing (folded on the sofa's arm); it came from my mother's stash as a result of a clean-out last fall, I was the lucky recipient. And yes, you guessed it, there was exactly enough! That summer breeze is a serendipitous one! The color in this photo reads a little "gold-er" than real life.
"Dewdrops in the Garden", a pantograph by Urban Elementz, added the perfect swirls and circles to soften the edges of all those angles and square corners. I love the way the thread appears against the linen weave of the sashing and borders.
Ready for binding, "Summer Breeze", front and back.
"Summer breeze, makes me feel fine. Blowing through the jasmine in my mind."
You're going to be humming along with me for the rest of the day!
Life is Good!
