A Bag of Sweet Chili Peppers

4/26/2019

Uncommon Quilt squares for April:  The challenge continues and I am on the look out for anything interesting that I can sew into a square! I am trying not to buy more stuff for this project although I will soon need more batting.
Healthy Multi Grain! I liked the wheat designs on the bread bag and the cotton print seemed about right. The shapes made me think of a quilting stitch that I have used often. 
New Mexico skies are often full of chunky clouds like these. I used several layers of blue sheers to develop the background and then layered white muslin over a gray mesh to sew the clouds.
 Sweet chili peppers cut from a scrap of printed fabric combine with part of a potato bag for this square.  The quilting is in bright green thread which seems to work, but doesn't show up much here.  Now it looks to me like another element is needed on the edges.  I might come back to this, or not.  The Happy Easter egg posted last week brings me up to date to the end of April
