My turn on the Turnabout Patchwork blog hop is today
>> Friday, February 1, 2019
I hope you've been visiting some the blogs before me in this hop! Each of us has created something using one of the many blocks that Teresa designed for this book. You can go back to this post for the list of bloggers to check them out.
For my turn I am using the half square triangles and squares block in a variation called Diamond Star.
I decided to go bold and play with some bright coral, Pantone's color of the year, and a Ketan batik green.
I took my four blocks and arranged them with the orange touching instead of the green and turned them into a pillow cushion.
Here are the blocks before being quilted. You can see that in this orientation the design looks quite different. I'm not sure I'd like a whole quilt in this arrangement, but it's perfect for a cushion!
For the reverse side of the cushion I decided to continue with the bold, bright colours and used this Kaffe Fasset print. I tried to add a bit of Teresa's bright Aussie sunshine to my project :)
There's a giveaway too!
Martingale, the publisher of Teresa's book, is generously offering electronic copies of Turnabout Patchwork.
Please leave a comment here on my blog about what you like best about blog hops!
I'll draw a winner at the end of the hop on February 9th.
Good luck!

p.s. here's a photo of where I took the photos of my pillow cushion - waaaaaay up on my snowbank! (It's probably a bit bigger by now too!)
