That is so pretty! I love your fabrics. That green with a swirl is really cool!
ReplyDeleteSusie that is an amazing paper pieced rose you made there! I'd say that you captured the feel of the Van Gogh beautifully! Love that Dimple mint green background!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, your rose is beautiful. I'm with you on the dimple thing. They add a very subtle and effective texture. I shall have to check the dimple prints out.
ReplyDeletePretty block Susie!! Your paper piecing is perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteYou sure can get a WHOOP WHOOP!!! Beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is seriously my favorite project that you've done. The balance of the colors is perfect. The fabric is perfect. You can easily see the inspiration. Well done, Susie! In all honesty, I can't stop staring at the pictures. I'm excited to see the finished wall hanging.
