I was going to do a quilt based on the colors of my California trip, then I decided a little zippered pouch would be more useful, maybe for traveling.
So I started pulling out fabric from my stash that included the colors of the trip: orange sunsets, green cypress and redwood trees, golden hills, blue ocean and skies, yellow for that yummy banana cream pie at Nepenthe.
As I started cutting and sewing, the neat piles became a tangled mess!
But it came together in a log cabin block that will always remind me of the trip.
I lined it in bright orange, which popped up everywhere on the trip.
Have a colorful day
those are the colors i choose often! my hand paints and batik play well together. your trip was fun to follow and sunsets your camera capture are amazing to me. aint nature grand!!
