Hearts and Flowers, a Patchwork Pattern in Progress
Working sketches of new patterns,
I’m not sure which way I’ll wind up going. I like the paper pieced 2 flower heart with green leaves, but it’s a free floating element. That means I’d have to thnk of how to use it in a larger piece. This would be great in a crazy quilt as a motif.
As for the repeated hearts design , I like the sort of Iris-y form created in the negative space of the hearts. Okay, it actually is more of a bee shape, but by playing with the colors I can make it an iris or a water lily. I’m playing around with it in my sketch book before cutting anything out. I think there is a way to make this without having any nasty Y corners to piece if the hearts are split down the middle. More later .
