Sunbonnet Sue is "GO"ing again!

I warned you, there would be more, and there is. I just can't help myself. All this playing with the "GO" is way too much fun.

This week Sunbonnet Sue takes a ride on the color challenge side. I love the looks of a black and white quilt when you throw in 1 color to really make it pop. Lime green, is that enough of a pop for you? :-) I am guessing that the original Sunbonnet Sue designer probably didn't have that in mind when she/he drew up this design. But what can I say, it's a thank you gift for the person who gave me the die, and lime green is her favorite color.

I did some playing around with the Daisy's and the color change too. If you look closely at the centers of them, you will see a half of a petal in each color. This was done by one of 2 ways. First I cut a strip of the black and the white fabrics 1" wide and fused them down next to each other then carefully placed them over the die for the daisy petal. It works fine, but you do have to be careful to not tear the fusible when attaching. My favorite was to just put a 2" piece of the white fabric on fusible, the place a 1" strip of the black with fusible on it on the top. It gives you a base to work with and you don't have to worry about the 2 pieces coming apart in the middle.  I use a light weight fusible, so I don't worry too much about the bulk it might add. Careful placement on the die is the key.

                                                                             As you can see, when you place it just right on the die, you get a perfect petal.  Next time around I might make my strips 1 1/4" wide. That way I can get an additional petal of the fabrics on each side of it.

Now as I am putting the petals down, I see this interesting design start to form, which lead to more playing.

Kind of reminds you of the Cathedral Windows or wedding ring doesn't it? And all from 1 petal of the daisy leaf die.  Hummm who would have though!  Stay tuned for the continuing saga of "I love my GO Baby...

PSSST:  I almost forgot. There is going to be a great surprise, right here in the MooseStash from the folks at GO real soon!
