Sew Sunshine

Our local guild had a maximalism challenge.  I wanted to play with one shape in multiple ways with bold contrast color with neutrals and bold prints. I wasn't sure one shape like the cross or plus made in a more ordered fashion could be maximalism or not but this is what I came up with. Whether it is or isn't it will be in a local art museum with other guild members entries starting next week. I love this pink color and am super happy with how it turned out. This part of that center fabric I saved just for this label and contributed to the name.

I recently unearthed a Tula Pink book and an oldie book from my mom about basic traditional quilt blocks. After last months P.Q. 14 challenge of "one" or first, I liked using a few shapes as possible so I settled on a tumbling block.  Two shapes make up this whole quilt, the diamond and the triangle. Combined they make a half hexie! Found this variegated thread in my stash too! I did not waste any time finding a backing, I walked into my stash closet where I have bigger pieces and voila, a two tone pink print was right on top.  There she is: Tumbling Tower of Pink P.Q. 14.2  40" x 49" Stash fabrics Diamond pattern quilting with variegated thread Linking up with the host of Project Quilting  Kim at Persimon dre...
