Matise blocks update


Remember way back, we worked on Matisse Challenge blocks? Well, I was looking for something in my studio, pulling things out left and right, and I came across my three Blocks I had made and never finished... My "Quilter's A.D.D.", took over, I pulled them out, forgot what was I was ACTUALLY looking for... and, since I didn't have any solids, jumped on Photoshop(see the options here) and played with some ideas...

BELOW was my Final layout... and ABOVE, I'm working my way 15 Minutes at a time, trying to make it a finished top.   I have many other projects I need to be working on, but taking just a few minutes to try to get this finished, is like eating desert first!  It feels good and get's me to my creative space! I'm ready to ROCK now...


So, for today, I added the Matisse Letters, and now I must get back to work...  My CHALLENGE fabric blocks are still in progress too, but I want to finish this first!  Because I've found my MOJO!  I Don't want to lose it!  What do you think?


Revisiting some of the old Matisse posts...
Please do check these out, we had some really lovely works going on at this challenge...

this is great. I'm inspired to get out the solids and play some too, but I'm on a big writing deadline. I found my Matisse-inspired quilt the other day and was wondering what to do with it. that was a great challenge!

Wonderful creativity! I made a lap quilt using Alexander Henry's Matisse inspired prints in 2011 and those designs are classic ~

The Matisse quilt will be a great quilt. I like all of it but especially love the block bottom left and the fishes.
