Passing the Days: Day 93

6/18/2020

 
Picture
What is it about being on the inside looking out?  We spend a lot of time looking out the windows onto our backyard.  I stop many times during my day just to see "who" has come by for a visit, and right now that means hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the new fawns.
When I saw the block I chose for Day 93 it reminded me of a window.  I really thought the name of the block lacked any kind of imagination though-it is simply called "New Pattern" and appeared in Peterson's Magazine in....wait for it...1857!

I decided to use a varriety of blacks for my dark fabric just because I am using up scraps.  That did mean I needed to be careful when I laid out the pieces to make sure I had the blacks matched properly.

I also went with a gray-on-gray print for the light fabric.  I liked the fact that it gave the impression of looking out at a garden.  However, if I had chosen a brightly colored print instead I think it would have been too much for the block and taken away from the overall sense, which is really quite peaceful.

And looked who showed up out my window.

It does look a lot like the classic block Attic Window, just upside down.

Good question. I like to look out the window, too. One thing about this house that drives me crazy is there are no east west windows, only north south. Not enough sunshine comes in. I do have my sewing machine near a window so I can look out and see the neighborhood, even at night since there's a streetlight across the driveway. I love that picture you started with.
