This month the theme for one of my groups was Contrast. My mind goes first to the B/W I love but I wanted to stretch a bit more and not be too predictable. Lots of ideas and lots of thinking. Finally decided on contrasting Color with the B/W. Figured I would design a cute house as the main bit. Remembered my favorite photo of a Crooked Little House and thought that would make a great inspiration for this theme. I made the little house in B/W and then on with Colors (there is also a contrast in using the pastels for the backboards of the house and brights for the boards in front). Here is one of the little crooked houses in contrast. BONUS!! I also have another one!!! It is still on the design wall ready to be completed later today I hope. This one still needs the binding as well. Busy busy later today!!!
Crooked Little House in Contrast
Here are the two pieces before cutting them and stitching/quilting them mixed up.I just feel like there will be another one made and kept as the B/W...it is just too cute!
I'm linking this to Nina Marie's Off The Wall Friday!
Cute!
ReplyDeleteAdorable...and you pieced them too!!!
ReplyDeleteI know!! Can you believe it??? Nice to know I haven't forgotten how. Guess it is a bit like riding a bike. Still have the raw edge applique I enjoy so much but some piecing never hurt I guess!
ReplyDeleteFun houses!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Neat to see the two before transformation/union.

Great mix of the two blocks, much better blended! The contrast with the Black & White and color is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteNow a lot of people would have made the two houses, yes they contrast and done - but you took it to the next level by chopping them up and putting them together. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThanks all of you! I'm glad it worked out like I saw it in my head!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Quirky and Cute. Love it.
