The wonderful world of Colour
I hope you have been able to visit all the bloggers who have been inspiring us over the past two days. Today is my chance to share a couple of my projects. Thanks to Joan from Moosestash Quilting for hosting this event. Here is a list of those sharing with us today

Lynn's Blog >That's me
Not a quilt, but a great example of the impact colour can have on us. Morning is breaking in this photo. There is a feeling of calm and peace. In addition to the cool colours there is a hint of warmth in the pink of the sky. Colours have a great impact on my emotions. Have you ever experienced intense feelings from seeing particular combinations of colours?
You may have seen my Tiger Tails quilt before on the blog. I finished it about a month ago, and it is a vibrant happy quilt, very suitable for its intended recipient, our granddaughter Penny.
The batik squares were trades made during our guild meetings. 
Sew Karen-ly Created...
. I've made this bag many times, and it serves well. Karen has lots of fun and unique patterns on her site. There are trips down memory lane with this scrappy project.
Not long ago I saw a quilt block somewhere, but I can't for the life of me remember where. However a couple of days later it was still in my mind, so my only recourse was to try and draw it out as I remembered it, and try to recreate it. It's one of those things that gets in your ear and knocks around until something is done with it. Well this is the block I came up with. You may recognize it, and if you do, please tell me. Of course I'm not 100% sure I have it exactly as seen, but I find that I like it, so I'm determined to make a few more and see where it goes. I love the colours in it. They are scraps, but pretty ones.
Be kind and lend a hand where you can
Hugs
Pretty block! When an idea gets stuck in your mind it can definetly be annoying, as you say until something is done with it.
ReplyDeleteSo true. Now I'm wondering if I might make a quilt top with it. I think I'm going to give it a whirl.Thanks for your visit.
DeleteWe have all been there when we see something that gets us "itching' to stitching", lol! That block is pretty and looking forward to seeing what you do with it. The other quilt is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDaryl, I feel as if a quilt is in the making with this block. Now I'm anxious to see how six or twelve of them might look? Thanks for your visit today.
Deletethat bag is awesome, I need to go look at that pattern!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great project to poke along at, or in my case to make at least 30 of them. They are wonderful gifts. I hope you make at least one. Thanks for stopping by today.
DeleteBeautiful block! That bag from selvages is awesome too, and the quilt is lovely! I love to see a colorful sunrise or sunset. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting today Carol, It has been fun.
DeleteLovely projects! I really like the selvage bag.
ReplyDeleteIt's inspiring for me to see what everyone makes. I'm so glad you dropped by today. Thanks.
DeleteGreat colorful projects. So many projects to love!
ReplyDeleteIf only we had the energy and time to create all that we have in our heads, but I'm so happy to be in the company of quilters. Thanks for visiting today.
DeleteBeautiful colorful projects! Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks Karrin for stopping in for a visit. I'm so happy that you did.
DeleteThe selvedge bag is really nice. Yes, color does have a great impact on our emotions.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit Danice, and your kind words.
DeleteSo many beauties full of color...love that selvedge bag! Thank you for sharing, Lynn.
ReplyDeleteCarol, thanks for spending a bit of your day with me. I appreciate that and your sweet comment.
DeleteGreat projects. The quilt for your grand is gorgeous. Love the selvedges bag, and the block you made is very pretty. So are you going to try to make a quilt with it, or stash it to make a pretty bag or something else?
ReplyDeleteYou know I think I see a quilt from that block in my future. I'm a scrappy quilter, and there are so many lovely scraps in my world. Thanks for visiting today.
DeleteAll 3 are great colorful beauties
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebecca. Lovely to have your visit today.
DeleteLove your selvedge bag. I need to make something with mine that have accumulated. The block is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo many fun projects can be made from selvedges. I made Christmas tree ornaments, a nametag heart, pencil cases for the kids, and on it goes. I hope you find a project for your selvedges.
DeleteThanks for sharing your colourful projects! I agree that Karen has awesome patterns! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting. I have made a number of Karen's patterns, and I've never been disappointed.
DeleteSunrises and sunsets are a perfect way to show color and how it affects us. Using color seems difficult to me but you do have a way with it. Sorry I don't recognize the block; hope you find out.
ReplyDeleteAll summer and fall I can enjoy the sunrises and sunsets over the Northumberland Strait. It is the place of my heart. I am going to go with this block, and see where it takes me. Thanks for visiting today.
DeleteI love seeing sunrises ( or photos of them) and sunsets. Even better, the reflection on water is mesmerizing. There is always an array of colors that just light up the sky and my soul. And what a wonderful quilt design to accentuate the beautiful batiks. Great finish! I also love your quilted selvage bag.
ReplyDeleteFrom May until November I live in my little cottage on the Northumberland Strait. Even though I have been watching sunrises and sunsets for many years, I am always moved by the sight, and never are there two exactly the same. Mt little point and shoot camera has taken thousands of pictures of the water, the clouds, the sea birds, and the changes in light throughout the days and evenings. This is the place of my heart. Thanks for visiting with me today.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous morning photo! That block is lovely, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping in for a visit. Mornings, noons and nights are amazing as I look over the Strait, I think that block is bound to morph into a quilt.
DeleteLovely colorful projects, Lynn! Thanks for including the link to scrappy tote bag pattern!!
ReplyDeleteIf you check out Karen's site, you will see lots of great patterns. Her attention to detail and ease of understanding the instructions is always there. I'm happy you dropped in for a visit. Always love to hear from you.
DeleteBeautiful projects. Thanks for sharing with us :)
ReplyDeleteAnorina, thanks for taking time to visit and leave a sweet comment. Come back again.
DeleteWell done on re-creating the block.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen. I appreciate your visit. You are welcome anytime.
DeleteI'd say your new pink/blue block was a squirrel that was gnawing away at you until you tried it!
ReplyDeleteYou know Vicki, that is just about it. I've started a second block with some different coloured scraps. I feel there is a quilt developing from this block, but time will tell.
DeleteLots of fun colorful projects! They are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Leah. There is so much inspiration as I visit all of the bloggers during the hop.I'm happy you dropped in for a visit, and left me a kind comment. Come again.
DeleteGreat projects! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sharon. I'm pleased that you stopped by for a visit. Come again anytime
ReplyDeleteyour projects are not only colorful but lovely examples of quilting. I really love the selvedge tote.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by, and for your kind comment. Come visit again when you can
ReplyDeleteLots of great colours and great projects. But the thing that definitely caught my eye the most was that photograph, and how you summed it up so well into words.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting. I have been blessed to see so many beautiful moments at the cottage. I will be moving there is about 2 weeks again for my 6 months. This morning in my "deep in the woods" home I was outside listening to a woodpecker drumming somewhere in the forest, and then the deer arrived to eat the tender grasses on the southwest side of the house. This too is a great spot, but the ocean holds my heart and soul.
DeleteGreat projects, Lynn! I really love that block you drafted. Sometimes, those darn squirrels bring some pretty great ideas!
ReplyDeleteLet's hope that somewhere down the line there will be a finished project started by that squirrel. (lol)
DeleteLovely projects Lynn. Thank you for sharing them. That block looks familiar but I’m not sure where I saw it either
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Carol. I've started a second and third block from this thing in my head, so I'll see where it ends up soon.
ReplyDeleteYour block is beautiful Lynn, and will make a stunning quilt. Thanks so much for sharing your selvedge tote and a link to my pattern. You are always so kind. :)
