Olive



This is the ninth Moda Frivol, with prints from the Lella Boutique line called “Little Miss Sunshine.” It used ALL of the 42 seven inch squares included in the tin, plus a yard and a half of white for the background (I managed with scraps from two other projects). The block – The Big O – is the easiest so far. It was lucky I opened this tin the day my five-year-old grandson had a sleepover at Nana’s. He was eager to help with the piecing, and a more complicated block wouldn’t have suited. I was concerned about how well navy would get along with yellow, coral, baby blue and fern green. Now that the top is together, I can see navy was an important component. I may even use it for the binding. The surprise in this tin was a tiny coloring book. I'll stick it in my purse with a few colored pencils - in case of boredom.
