Sharon's month was April (oops!) and she asked for pink, wonky gnome homes. She sent a bunch of cute pink fabrics, in addition to a lot of white fabric, and a little bit of Heather Ross's pink gnomes print. I added in my favorite pink polka dot ever, and also a bit of green for the grass.
I've never done wonky before; I'm not sure if I like what I came up with. I tried to recreate my neighborhood here in Richmond. The final product is quite different than my idea drawing, but that's because there were certain elements that I just couldn't bring myself to attempt to create (like stairs, porches, and columns).
Compared to others, my block seems like a failure!
Oh, no -- not a failure! I love your block -- especially the wonkiness! It now seems pretty obvious to me that any self-respecting gnome would live in a wonky home! My blocks look so flat and uninspired next to yours and so many of the others. I feel like I'm the one who missed the mark. Your gnomes look pretty happy to me :)
ReplyDeleteYour gnomes look very happy in their little pink houses (and now I'm singing little pink houses in my head---better than out loud =).
ReplyDeleteThey look great, Jennifer! If you're feeling inadequate, you could always hand-embroider windows on them.
ReplyDeleteCheryl-- That's a great idea. Too bad I've already decided I'm done with that thing! That block is so out of my comfort zone; I don't want to work on it anymore!
ReplyDeletei love the wonky roofs and the gnomes.
ReplyDeletegnomes and pink houses in the same quilt? oh my!
ReplyDeleteI adore it - what a great blog - i'll be bak often
