    Love shat you did with Tidal Lace. It soft and delicate touches really make it too femine for you Molli but your certainly worked it out! Love the extra tonal touches and how they almost looking spinning. Wondering what they would look like if they were all on point too???? I do love them.Got my fingers crossed.Keep up the great work.Julie from Adelaide.(julie714@adam.com.au).

    Beautiful! Naked inspiration is so cool!

  5. You rocked it, Molli! Fabulous concept with fabric that you made your own. You have showed us that even pastels can be strong and mystical magical!

    I love what you've invented!! And that extra tidal flow line makes your block have such good action!
    I would get naked more to get inspired, you know I would, except it's Alaska, and… oh that's right, it's only cold on the East Coast this year!! Well now.

    The things you do for your art. Love your blocks and the randomness is great as I was looking for those slivers.

    what gorgeous blocks (and a great story to go with them!) I would imagine they are quite fiddly to make

    Clever _ _ _ _! Okay, in the interest of keeping it G rated… clever clogs! Very good. Your marriage of colours amazes me. I could also see these working with a really inky aubergine. Perhaps? As opposed to a shiney of a lavender bridesmaid dress…

  11. I am so smitten with this block design! I enjoy the explanation of people's processes, although I still don't get how you got from here to there. It's still fascinating to hear.

    Wow they don't look so pastel any more! I had to go back to Mondays post to see how they looked in the bundle . It's amazing how a bold colour choice really changes the look of the fabric. Can't wait to see this one finished πŸ™‚ Cool looking block.

    What an awesome story. When I saw the first block pop up on the screen, pastel was not what came to mind. In fact, when I started reading I had to look again. Nope. Still doesn't look pastel. You've managed to give them Sparkle!

    Wonderful post – I was just saying in my latest one that we need to get out and away from the making, now and again, to gain some clarity about it all. And here you are saying the same thing! It certainly worked for you – your blocks are great and the colours work so well together! xCathy
