Hello, friends! Louise here again with a couple more quilts made with YOUR orphan blocks and donated projects. I love having a stash of blocks in a variety of sizes, styles and colors. That way, when a great central panel like this handsome horse falls into my lap, I can surround it with just the right combination. These all came from my "autumnal colors" box, featuring browns, golds, reds, and oranges. A few hints of blue highlight the mountain stream the horse is splashing through, too.
On the other extreme from muted autumnals comes this vibrant piece! Wow! Whoever stitched this cool improv applique top has a fantastic color sense. Purples, coral, blues...I love it!
I decided to pick up the spring green and purple elements for the borders, and ended with black to contain the exuberance and frame it up. Since all I had to do was add borders, quilt, and bind, this piece came together speedy-quick. I hope it makes someone smile.
Thank you again to the many hands that sew up and donate raw materials for these Covered in Love quilts. I couldn't do my part without you!
