Rabbit Season: Colour & Inspiration Tuesday

It’s Still Rabbit Season

Hi! It’s Tuesday, and I’ve got nothing new (that I can show you). Busy as a beaver behind the scenes – but nothing ready to go public. So, today we are simply going to bask in the warm fuzzy glow of the two rabbit patterns I released in the past week (make sure you have them downloaded) and admire some new inspiration kindly left for us last week by our Clever Chameleon community.

I also tried out one of our previous inspiration features for myself this week. That, I can give you a glimpse of, so read on to see. Then enjoy some of the latest linkups, and share what you’ve been up to. Happy quilting!

Are you up to date on your Love with a Twist collection?

Have you downloaded your Love with a Twist Balloon Rabbit patterns yet? You can get Rascally Rabbit (the baby one) in last Friday’s post. And Responsible Rabbit (the mummy one) in Sunday’s post. Only Rascally Rabbit is required for the throw size quilt, but you need both for the twin size quilt.

The one thing I can show you from my secret quilting

Among our features last week, I showed you Susan’s post about her Dragon Fruit quilting motif on Quilt Fabrication.

I liked the mix of straight lines, points and curves in Susan’s fill, so I thought I would give it a go. I ended up trying it from memory, which means that the spirals in the centre of each “slice of dragon fruit” are bigger than Susan’s, but that’s fine.

Here’s my own attempt at “dragon fruit-like” quilting (from the back so that I don’t reveal anything sensitive).

Have you tried any quilting ideas you spied on the internet lately?

Now, to last week’s Inspiration Party features…

I’ll do a couple more than usual, since I have little else to go on about. 🙂

Claire at knitNkwilt made a couple of pieced backings for quilts in her queue. I especially liked this one….. I think it could just as easily be a modern quilt top. In fact, it is not that dissimilar to what I have in mind for my modern quilt challenge for May, but in different colours. Lots and lots of empty space to practice quilting.

Thanks for sharing, Claire.

We have two aquatic scenes, which felt very familiar after the past month or so on Clever Chameleon. Jeanette at quilted_collie on IG shared her underwater collage called Treasures of the Moonfish. Look how enamoured the Chameleon is!

And Andrée at Quilting and Learning – What a Combo! is gradually building up a terrific pond scene in free-motion embroidery. Wander over to see more of her piece and also check out the latest Free-motion Mavericks linkups.

Last, but not least, Judy at JBigg’s Scrap Pieces blogged about her progress in turning a Stonehenge panel into a quilt. I love the colours in her chosen fabrics and the friendship stars she is adding to the panel to create size and interest. Stonehenge is one location that the Chameleon would visit in a heartbeat.

Happy reading! Then….

Ferret out your favourite post….

Tell us, what are you working on, or have recently finished in your sewing room? We want to know so we can visit, admire and be inspired. Link up a blog post, an IG post or simply a photo from your computer.  See if you can get the Chameleon to turn quilted with happiness. We’d love to see your quilting colours!

How to be a part of the Chameleon’s Quilting Inspiration Party….
