old to new

This an old block, one of many that Diane Shink handed out to the Guild to turn into a 15" quilted and finished square.  Diane is an appraiser with the American Quilt Society (www.dimacquilt.com) and she is a collector (which is an understatement!) of star quilts, vintage blocks and aprons.  These blocks are not well constructed and we were allowed to do with them as we wanted - deconstruct, whatever.  I decided that since it was a posy block I would turn it into leaves and flowers, but in a modern stylized fashion.  And is where I should be at this moment-  completing it for tomorrow!

 


This is the intermediate step.  I'm hoping to cartoon it with flower petals and leaves.  

Keep watching !
