Naive Melody is designed by Lucy Engels and is, I think my first real modern style quilt.
However I am using an old traditional method of needleturn applique to do the shapes.....
The light background fabrics are from my leftovers drawer ..... (as opposed to scraps which are smaller pieces!)
I am using a lovely range called Terra Australia by Emma Jean ....
These are the 20 blocks I did for November ....
... and up on the wall are the 60 blocks done so far all together.....
I love the kangaroo's, lizards, botanical inspired designs, dots and stripes...
A sewalong (on instagram) that I'm glad I joined... so different for me and great fun
Righto, Gotto Go, long day voting yesterday but my work is done..... relax day today.....

It's a good thing you mentioned the kangaroo because I would have missed it. I got the lizards right away, but couldn't find the kangaroos. They were too close I guess, haha! Enjoy your break today. ;^)
You are using beautiful fabrics Fiona and making great progress. Enjoy your day off.
I didn't notice that about the fabrics...how neat! It is looking fantastic!
I didn't realise you had all those animals either - it's looking so funky & modern!
That's a fun quilt! Love those Aussie fabrics too.
Wow! That is certainly a different style but well worth trying. It looks so cheerful . Well done.
Fun funky fabrics you’re using and now the blocks are coming together it’s looking great...
You are so right Fiona .. that is a lovely fabric range - the colours are fresh & cheery & fun. You will be pleased when the voting job is all over - I hope it is nearly the end. xx
A great design to showcase the lovely prints.
I like that, has the feel of hieroglyphics
Definitely different to your usual style, it is a great range of fabric. I have a couple of jelly rolls waiting for the right project for me to use them on. It will be a nice vibrant quilt.
How fun to mix these bright, new modern fabrics with traditional applique! I'm so glad you're having a good time working on this piece :)
You really are going off piste at the moment! This one is growing on me I have to say and I like that you are doing it the traditional way. xx
Wow! This is fantabulous!
Dear Fiona,
great top, lovely applique, and so modern.
That is a fun quilt and great way to use unique and different fabrics.
Debbie
This one is looking great. Love the fabrics you are using.
