Yellow Cottage July Journal Quilt

I used hand dyed cotton and scrim for this one. The technique was reverse appliqué. I wish now I had used a solid black.I took a shortcut with the stitching and confused a reversed 3 for 5 so got the colours in the wrong order - ah well!
I decided to add some text from The Magic Apple Tree by Susan Hill. "The giant crows were circling over the cornfields below." There have been so many rooks and cows in the fields this year. It is such a lovely book and great to re- read it.

July Journal Quilt

This is a photo I took of the cottage on a walk between showers the other day.The field is so wet at the moment but the rabbits have been busy and you can just see a hole. There are more than ever - holes and rabbits - which pleases
the dog.
I've been playing with colour and effects to come up with some ideas for the design of the July journal quilt.

Picture
Just added some yellow, then zoomed in and used the cut out filter and reduced the colours to just six. I printed it on to some bjs treated cotton and will probably quilt it, but fancy doing a reverse applique piece as well so have just traced out the shapes and sorted out some fabric to use.

Picture
I think this has a kind of basic, block printed, fifties look. By the time its stitched I expect it won't look like a house at all.
