Half of February's Color Adventure~

For my February Color Adventure block, I wanted to do something

"Valentine-ish".

It is the Valentine month after all ;-)!

So I scrapped the block I  had started and pulled out three Kona colors;

mulberry, cardinal red and candy pink.

Finding a pattern that was Valentine-ish was harder than I expected.

I wanted arrows or flowers or???

but no hearts.

Through an online search I found about.com.quilt

and the Flying All Around block.

But it had a chunky 6.5" piece of fabric for the center...

I pulled out my BrANd New (thanks, Jane) 

Farmer's Wife book

and found Wild Roses and square to fill that spot.

My idea of a valentine..

Arrows of Love circling a bouquet of flowers.

(note- those are fox prints above)

I was so tickled to finish, and skipped out to take pictures before the sun disappeared.

And discovered I had a problem..

 (hear the music change?)

Oops!

So back to the machine and ripper I went.

Problem solved.

The wind was beginning to blow,

and this block set to fly off to Oregon!

I can't wait to see what the mailbox delivers this month.....
