TODAY I'LL SHOW YOU MY SECOND NEW PROJECT FOR THIS YEAR. IT CAME TO ME BY CHANCE WITH AN EMAIL THIS MORNING. I GOT IT FROM QUILT AROUND THE WORLD WITH A FANTASTIC PROJECT AND THE IDEA STARTED TAKING SHAPE VERY FAST.
I DECIDED TO PARTICIPATE AND CREATE A 9" BLOCK ABOUT THE 9 AZOREAN ISLANDS, THE ARCHIPELAGO WHERE I HAPPILY LIVE. EACH ISLAND HAS A COLOR GIVEN TO IT FROM A SPECIFIC CARACTER.
THE ARCHIPELAGO IS DIVIDED INTO THREE GROUPS:
- EASTERN GROUP WITH SAO MIGUEL AND SANTA MARIA
- CENTRAL GROUP WITH TERCEIRA, GRACIOSA, SAO JORGE, PICO AND FAIAL
- WESTERN GROUP WITH FLORES AND CORVO
THIS ARE THE COLORS FOR EACH ISLAND:
- SANTA MARIA - YELLOW - DUE TO THE BROOM FLOWERING THERE
- SAO MIGUEL - GREEN - DUE TO THE FIELDS AND WOODS
- TERCEIRA - PURPLE - DUE TO THE WISTERIA AND LILAC TRELLIS
- GRACIOSA - WHITE - DUE TO THE WHITE STONES
- SAO JORGE - BROWN - DUE TO THE ROCKS AT PONTA DOS ROSAIS
- PICO - GREY - DUE TO THE MOUNTAIN
- FAIAL - BLUE - DUE TO THE BLUE HYDRANGEAS
- FLORES - PINK - DUE TO THE AZALEAS
- CORVO - BLACK - DUE TO THE LAVA AND THE DRY WALLS DIVIDING THE FIELDS
AFTER ALL THIS INFORMATIONS HERE IS THE LAYOUT:
NOW I JUST HAVE TO APPLIQUÉ THE CIRCLES AND SEW THE SQUARES TOGETHER. SOON THE FINISHED PIECE WILL BE SHOWN.
THANK YOU FOR VISITING AND HAPPY WEEK-END.
HUGS.
