Adding a Dimension


I am excited about the Something From Nothing challenge and have been playing around with many ideas so far.  This first idea starts with liberated log cabins - I can't really sew very straight & precise, so I love the liberated stuff : )  Then as I'm constructing them, I add in dangling trims like pom poms, ric rac, piping, and any other interesting trim that I have around.  Here are 2 colorways I've worked on so far (the blue is a distance shot of the block pictured above).  Look closely & you'll find the trims!

I was tempted to do the same thing as I was piecing the other day... Great minds think alike! What fun little quilts they will be :- )
