Farmer's Wife Quilt Along Week 20

#20 - Churn Dash
I really needed to use this blue again.
This is just a nice, quiet, happy little block. I need to remember to make more quiet ones to balance out all the ...
#26 - Cut Glass Dish
... SUPER LOUD ONES like this!
Actually this version was a reject. I didn't like how the large blue squares looked so blotchy with the large flowers. Plus one of my seams was all wonky :( .
So I switched the fabric and straightened the seam.
MUCH better!
I love how all the tiny triangles in this block are so reminiscent of the name, "Cut Glass Dish". I was a little disappointed with this one at first. I thought it would have looked sharper with a solid white instead of the white/blue print for the triangles. But then I got to thinkin' ... you know how when you look at cut glass and you can sorta see through it, but not really? I think this lacy blue/white print makes the "cuts" look semi-transparent.
I like thinking of things that way - assigning meaning in relatable ways. Like with the Chrysler Building last week. Don't know why. Just the way I roll, I guess. :)

Love the blues and greens. :)

I love the blue and green together...love them.
I can't believe you had a wonky seam!! The second version does look better, with the smaller print. I am busy making my templates - I'm looking forward to getting started!
Blues and greens. The best! And I like your take on the cut glass dish with the blue and white. :)
