This is the top row left hand corner, using the motif 'Encore'. It is important to audition the motifs for the amount of curves in each square. Here the curves are very tight, so need a smallish, flexible motif. Encore is quite simple - which often gives the most flexibility. It is also very quick and easy.
This is the next row down, still on the left hand side. You haven't seen this motif before and I have yet to come up for a name, but it is sort of based on an alternating round and square snail shell. No, we don't have square snails in south Devon UK (although I have thousands of the round variety)- I do have imagination!!
Here are the 2 squares aligned together.
Happy Thanksgiving to all US visitors!
Thanks for visiting...

I love the Encore motif. they look like people who are holding up their arms in joy! Your stitches are awesome, as always. And that fabric is amazing... really showcases your work. Wow!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I was going to say! Like Rejoicing people! So wonderful. I'm going to have to try something like this out!
Deleteso accomplished you really are making the most wonderful blocks to go into this piece
ReplyDeleteAs always, your quilting looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are coming together beautifully. I had previously said that the gold with the quilting looked like hammered metal. Now that the two blocks are together they really look Etruscan! I am loving what you are doing!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! A work of art...At first glance, I thought you were showing an antique tin roof tile!
ReplyDeleteFabulous!
