colour running

I think I like making collages almost as much as I love making quilts.

I really enjoy racing round the house like an excited puppy

gathering all my quilty ideas,

like 'getting it down on paper'.

I am so into coral right now (not orange)

It began last year with the purchase of the coral rowan fabric seen in my mini quilt.

It is such an intense hue, it really sings to me.

 Especially when coupled with a turquoise snowday quilt.

For now I'm thinking pink vintage sheet for the backing, 

with a plain coral binding!!!!

Definitely hand quilted, 

possibly in red and white.

ps.

All my photographs have been photoshopped

there is just no sun to be had.

pps.

If you still haven't given collages a go 

try out picmonkey

it really is easy and it's free!!

How could I not share today.

After a day of quilters block yesterday

I set about starting my new epp project.

This is a two fabric project,

just some vintage sheeting and some white cotton..

I'm finding it hard to steer away from calling it snowflake!
