A little swap with Clare made these pretty "Blueberry Fool" blocks appear in my mailbox last week. Lots of lovely blue.
It has been a long winter. The snow is still around. (coldest, longest winter in 30 years in these necks of the wood). Feeling a bit of winter blues...
So I started playing, improv style.
Shaping a medallion.
Adding some letters - lyrics from an old song favorite by Anne Grete Preus:
lav sol (the sun is low)
høy himmel (the sky is high)
Adding the star.
Adding the star.
The letters are 7" high. The full top is about 30" * 60":
I had a lot of fun, Clare. Practicing for my Lazy Gal Liberated Amish 2010 Get Together quilt.
Happy sharing, swapping, sewing and playing...

I love it Marit! Those blueberry blocks are just wonderful. And the star block. And the words! I love it all.

Oh and translations too, I love it.
