I've been putting off figuring out a layout design for my "songs" quilt until at least half of the blocks were completed. It's now time to start playing with my ideas. After looking at some church windows, I decided that a stained glass triptych may work. Not having all the blocks complete makes it a little hard to design. I used cut up magazine pages for the blocks that are current works in progress and batting for the ones yet to stitch. The batting can always be cut to a different size if needed.
A little further playing ... In order to fit all the blocks, I decided that some circles at the top would help break it up and create more of an old window look. Each circle will be a different song. The panels on the two edges will be for the smaller blocks I created for each song.
This is from Notre Dame in Paris, taken in 2015. Dee, Mom, and I met up with Jes for a lovely time in Amsterdam and Paris. Travel is such a wonderful way to be inspired!
