Inspiration

So my two Quilt Univ class's have inspired two pieces all involving fabric that has a water theme. Pulling out my favorite blue- green- marine blue- tourquoise and light blue-- for the pineapple blocks made it easy to consider a journal piece from the scraps. Today the inspiration came to a head; I couldnt stop until the journal piece was done. The nice thing about this is -- you could expand -- "Lagooon"-- into something much larger. My husband believes it looks like a mountain scene. The pineapple blocks are not done; there are four more corner blocks in different shades of black - to blue- to green which will make this into a small wall hanging. These blocks were done as a paper foundation and the paper is still attached. The next class asks for an off center block; the teacher has suggested there will be more design possibilities. Since the Journal Quilt class has two more weeks- that means two more journal quilts will be coming. Let me know what you think.
