This is a clearer picture of my vegetable quilt tomato.
And here is a picture of the 6 blocks I have made so far, clipped with magnets to the doors of my metal cabinet. Below is a color copy of the Sampler Quilt that Ruth McDowell made. I like to look at it because it makes my little heart go pitter patter, pitter patter. There's something about the blues and browns and blacks in the background that gets me all weak in the knees. Even though I am not a detail oriented person, I liked her quilt so much, I was willing to make an attempt to be meticulous and precise. Most unnatural.
And here is the potato. McDowell used eyes cut from fabric of doll eyes to create the potato eyes. I thought that was just a wee bit too creepy for me so I just used a lighter fabric with tiny circles. Perhaps the next potato will not look like a mummy potato. That plaid fabric makes him look like he is swathed in bandages. Didn't plan on that. Oh, well. All God's chillen make mistakes. Next I'll make a beet. Or perhaps another, but different, tomato. I'm working my way up to the many-pieced carrots and celery. I've got many more blocks to go. As Cleopatra would say, "The quilt is still in its salad days." I better stop here. I feel a treacherous case of bad pun making coming on.
