Capitola Crossing
I really appreciate Amy's definition of Modern for the Festival - she says ' modern to you, is modern to me" With that non-judgey spirit in mind I'm entering Capitola Crossing to the linky party. In all honesty, I think it's pretty special that it was inspired by the Amish Railroad Crossing quilt from 1930
Triangle on a roll - the closest that I get to paper piecing!
Mock up color placement on the design board was a fun step.
The bright colors were chosen to represent the Begonia Festival and the one block mini reflects the small 2 square mile size of town and the railroad that runs through it.
My newish ruler came in so handy trimming up. Although not a perfectionist (sort of an anti-perfectionist truth be told) I didn't want to cut too many tips.
I rarely (read: almost never) mark anything. The color change is subtle but there are two different threads used inside and out of the chalk line.
