In this season of no color, no flowers, no leaves, it is a good time to work with some homemade colors. Pictured is a quilt top handed down to me, over the years it kept getting pushed back in the closet. The truth is I didn't like it and didn't want to invest time in finishing it. The leaf squares were overpowered by the loud colored strips and the total effect was just too busy for me.
So I finally decided to free the leaves from their bindings and am now auditioning different layouts and background colors (feedback welcome). I started this back in the fall, and have now just pulled it out again. Winter is the time to work on quilts, don't you think?
