Frivols 6 (Not) is Finished

Fullsizeoutput_1a52

Hello.  This is Frivols #6.  Not.  In my recent sewing room clean up, I reacquainted myself with my little Frivols collection.  I had started to do something with Frivols 6, which was nothing like the project suggestion that came with the fabric in the collectible tin. And then I abandoned the project.

I had been using the fabric to experiment with a pattern by The Pattern Basket, called "Feathers".  I made two bird blocks and recognized the fact that I did not possess the fortitude to make an entire quilt made up of these bird blocks.  So the project and fabric got relegated to a shelf in the garage.

Upon rediscovering the fabric, the tin and a little accompanying card for a "variation" block called "Twin Star", I was re-inspired to do something.  I found myself having a ball combining "Strawberry Fields Revisited" fabric into combinations for the star blocks, and then had a nighttime epiphany as to how I could use one of those bird blocks.  Put it in the center of course.

So here is my final result, a table runner (surprise).  It will be about 18" by 36" finished.

I have definitely rekindled my interest in those Frivols projects.  If you have a stack of them decorating the shelves in your sewing room, stand by for some more shake-ups from me as I work through mine.  If you have any ideas on how to change them up, do share below.  

Hope your week got off to a good start.

  25. O love it and what a great idea using the bird as your focal piece. I have always wanted to make the bird quilt but always put it on the back burner. Frivols are so much fun.
