Maya S-M of India created this block for the Crazy Quilt Journal Project 2012. She says,
The use of orange is because of The Flame trees/Gulmohar’s which burst into bloom in April and the orange ice candy from Nandini which fills the freezer compartment of my fridge. I decided to use a crochet sample which I found in a bag of scraps and incorporate some figurative embroidery with the windmills of Chitradurga.
Lovely! I really enjoy learning the stories behind these blocks. Go to the CQJP blog for a photo you can click to enlarge. Or go to Maya’s Million Little Stitches post for more views, including a look at the journaled portion of the block.
Delighted to see my CQJP block on Craft Gossip. Thank you for featuring it Denise.
