As I read through so many blogs I am reading about how this block was inspired by this journal or that person. When I think about something that I get inspired by (sunset on the bay) I gather my color pencils, fabrics, graph paper, and there I am stuck. How do you translate that beautiful sunset into a square block? I have painted it in oils and have no problem there. I am a very literal thinker. How do I train the brain to think in the abstract? I will be doing some research on this….
On a totally different subject. I can’t wait to get my new seam ripper. This is hand turned by a High School Friend. (Yes, like I told my grand kids, High Schools were invented back then). Last night I could have used this. It is made from Sindora wood. Excited.
Thanks again for listening to my questions and chatter.
There’s an app called Quilt assitant that let’s you insert any picture and convert into a paper pieced pattern and you can take it from there. Another way I know is to convert your inspiration to a color palette to use on your favorite block or create your own block. I can’t remember what that color app is called right now.
