I managed to put together the lozenges from last year rainbow challenge. I must apologize for the photo. My design wall goes right into the corner and I have a wall of shelves that reach almost into the corner; so, the boxes on the shelf got into the photo too.
I have also been working on some green leaves. I managed to put together four blocks and two more are almost finished. This will give you an idea of the quilt. It will be a small wall hanging. I had thought of adding some orange, yellow and brown leaves to show the seasons but I'm not sure if I will go ahead with that or not.
Laura Wasilowski was a guest lecturer and workshop presenter at a neighbouring guild. She's the "Dean of the Chicago School of Fusing." I heard her lecture on Wednesday afternoon. She was very entertaining - she sang, she talked, we sang and laughed. Great fun! On Thursday, I doodled and fused. It was a fun day and my only regret was that I left my camera at home so have no pictures to share of the workshop, just the piece I worked on there. My doodle came to life with her bright hand dyed fabrics and threads for embellishment. (Still a work in progress.)

I've seen Laura on the quilt show and she is very inspiring and fun. Your fusible doodle quilt is great - quilting will only make it better but my fave is that leaf quilt. I would leave it just the way it is. Your variety of fabrics in green are enough. Very nice ;-)
I like your layout for the lozenges, it has a nice rhythm to it. Your thought of adding the orange, yellow and brown blocks of leaves sounds like an interesting one.
wow the lozenge project is great! Color- FULL. I love Laura W. and it will be fun for you to work on your class piece. LeeAnna
I love the mix-up in the lozenges of black and white backgrounds and vertical and horizontal. That really came together to make a spectacular quilt.
I like what you're doing with your lozenges. Very bright and happy. And the leaves are very interesting. I could see something like that in my house. Keep on stitching!
Oh nice leaves and lozenges--I like the loz. in a rainbow a lot! I just got L>W>'s book "Colorful Quilts" and am hoping to do some fusing--your "Doodle" is looking great....hugs, julierose
LOVE your lozenges AND the layout - well done!!!
I think I would make one leafy wall hanging for each season - not mixing all the colors in one.
Love the unique lozenge layout. Wonderful colors. Those green leaves look great, not sure about the fall colors either. Maybe yellow or brown shades of green?
I really like your doodle and fuse piece. It is so playful and colorful. Are you going to blanket stitch the whole thing? Does she have a website? I would love to know more.
Lovely work and you managed to get a lot done. Our quilt show will be here the first weekend in June. I can't wait!!
