Two blocks for the manifestation quilt group project. I hope they look good with the other blocks, I’m not sure what they are yet. Hopefully it will all come together and look nice. The heart block is purples, gold, & orange colors. I chose this block to represent Love and Peace. This is another Phoenix block that was requested I make for a future project. The dark purples didn’t photo well but it includes greens, blue & purple colors. The appliqué is raw edge with batik fabrics and stitched close to the edge. I placed the pieces a little differently. Now I might have to revisit this piece…..ugh, it happens to us all. Ok, I didn’t want to remove the wings in case there was still some adhesive there so instead added more wings. Now I just need to stitch them down. I think that makes it ‘flame’ a little more and brings out the purple in the sashing.
