I started with an idea of a Spring linen. I had these pastel squares on off white and even a tan plaid. But they just weren't popping. So I changed it up, drastically.
I pulled out a black and I liked how it looked. It made those colors pop! And I think it makes the linen stand out more too.
The next step for this linen, is to layer it with some batting and a backing and treat it like a quilt.
It's a little quilt, only 32 x 32. I was looking for something quick and small. Something to show almost instant gratification. If I didn't have a bunch of errands and household chores, this would have been quicker. But I had to see the dentist for a cleaning and we really needed groceries and I had to go to a couple of meetings and...
After all that I'm hoping to have some sewing time this weekend, even though I have to take Hubby back to the airport on Sunday and pick him back up on Monday. Just a quick trip for him. I think it takes more time for me to drive home then it takes him to reach his office. We may have to invest in a plane so that I can have more sewing time! Kidding
Have a wonderful fabric filled weekend!
Take care, Brandie

What a cute little topper! And If I remember correctly your kitchen is black and white? (Or am I crazy?). That's a perfect way to pop out the color in a modern way!
I do love the black for this vintage linen quilt. Your little macaroon purses are uber cute but very fiddly to make. If only I could stitch in my sleep. Happy Hearts are Creative Hearts...
This looks fantastic. Wonderful work.

Very pretty, the black makes everything pop.
What a beautiful piece of embroidered linen. I like your vision!
I agree, the black does make it pop. Very cute!
I was looking at a quilt yesterday that used the same design for a border and I was really liking it, this looks terrific!
