Pink Flower Process

 Here is the pink flower quilt square I made for the convention. I was making 16x16 squares, so it had to fit into that space. It was a close call.

This was a rough one. I like the final result, but it wasn't the easiest to get to. 

First the petals and try to fill it into the frame. (A 16x16 frame to add to my pattern sampler quilt idea.)

Then trying to fill in the gaps:

Turning it all black:

And using these for the first time to attach dots to.

All black, with dots.

What about leaves? Maybe a gradient?

But then it wasn't working the best and I liked the idea of the darker green ring around the sage green part. It's not perfect, but nature isn't either, maybe? Yeah, we'll go with that. ☺

I didn't have enough dots in the right colors so I had to mix up various ones. And then the petals with the white dots hit up against the frame. So then I decided the frame needed a dot in the middle on the one side that didn't have a petal, just to balance it and be decorative. So three of those white dots are doing double duty, as a tip of the petal and also a decoration on the frame. 

Now I want to go make quilts...

At the Brick Convention, two women asked about how I did some patterns. And the daughter was helping her mother make all of the mother's quilt patterns in LEGO. We talked about SNOT and they seemed excited to go give it a try. I should have asked to get their contact info so I could see the results.

And I still love that quilt at Omaha.... https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIIN1YmvHtl/?hl=en
