So, I've been saying all along that I was going to do a 'traditional' Lucy Boston"Patchwork of the Crosses" - light background, alternate blocks and pathway blocks.
I laid out my blocks on every white and cream solid, semi solid, and light low volume print in my stash. I thought long and hard about ordering a cream grunge in defiance of the 'no new stash' rule. (Self imposed, but I'm TRYING). UGH, nothing worked.
I have been photographing the parts on my black desk and loved the way the colors "popped", so I went internet diving for 'Lucy Boston with dark background'. Then I saw this blog post with a single PotC block set on black as a small wall hanging. YES!!!
I found a half yard of solid black in the stash and my trusty Fons and Porter white chalk pencil and went to work. I figured I would do a pathway block first since it's just 4 squares and 6 honeycombs. That's a minimum investment of time and fabric.
Good choice with the black background! It will really make those colors sparkle.
