This week I was just not able to make myself do another blue block… so to mix things up I thought I would make another Neon block. I recently inherited some Michael Miller Neon scraps and a couple of unused Neon blocks and thought I would try to make a neon quilt for the PMQG charity drive. So here is my first contribution to the quilt…
This is pattern is not too complex but I like how the star seems to have a frame. I did manage this week to get all my points to align and I really learnt from last weeks palava, which means the pattern is ready for use. You can find it here…WQ Neon Star block 1.
I am taking a brief break from my Starry Nights and I am looking forward to doing some non-star paper piecing blocks for this Neon quilt.
Pink and black always wow when they are together 🙂 love the star, great way to start the week 🙂
I also love the pink/black or pink/navy combination and I also need more pink in my life at the moment. Mmm I am now going to go and pull out my other pink UFO.
Nice contrast, Cath. This makes me think of the “polka-dot bikini” song – ha! I really enjoy your projects – thanks for posting about them!
Too funny I had not thought about that but now I can not get the song out of my head. It is going to haunt me all day lol.
Haha – I know! As soon as I thought of it, I’ve been stuck with it, too – gotta share the love!
All together now, “itsy bitsy teeny weeny….” Love the colours – what other neons do you have? They’d all work brilliantly well with the black and grey combination.
I have itsy bitsy pieces of the full Michael Miller Neon range so look forward to orange and yellow blocks soon. I love the touch of black to make the brights really pop.
Oh God. We’ll be carrying that tune around in our heads forever! But I’m really looking forward to seeing the other blocks.
super adorable – and i am loving this color scheme. these neons are too much to handle – i LOVE them. i see a treat coming my way soon!
This is very pretty but I always enjoy seeing your latest ‘starry night’ blocks.
wow
Really pretty! I love seeing all of them!
I absolutely love this neon star!
Love it! The neon is fantastic against the black, great job Cath! Can’t wait to see what else you put together for this!
You can have too much of a good thing, so it is nice to change pace, or colour, now and then. I too like your frame idea.
Why does the fun neon pink make me think back to high school?
I was a child of the 80’s and neon brings about all sorts of flashbacks… not all of them good!
Blue-light discos, perhaps?
OMG absolutely. I got into so much trouble at those things.
Lindíssimo
Obrigado. Fico feliz que gostou.
