I also adapted Jenny's pattern so that it would look more like Nouveau Riche, by Toby Lischko (see the little sample in the upper left corner of the design wall). I can't say that I like one more than the other.
So regarding this 'prototype'... it's really not a prototype. It just sounds better than "I had something completely different in mind, but when I went to the fabric store to purchase the fabrics that I really wanted, they didn't have them, and I wasn't patient enough to wait until the weekend when I would have time to drive the hour drive to a different quilt shop, so I foolishly purchased something else." I like this pattern, and I even like this little wall hanging...a lot. I just didn't want these colors for the project that I needed to get done. I do have someone in mind for this bright little hanging. I think she will really like it.
Oh my gosh I love your 'prototype' and the story behind the fabrics-I think this is a universal thing, not getting the fabric in mind etc and also not having time to quilt/sew and so trying to do many things at one time to make up for it.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing it myself right now--and trying to focus on one thing, but it is difficult. :)
I love your quilts and all the colors you put in them. I also enjoy making quilts and other items. Please join me at www.sewcraftykathy.blogspot.com
