Bonus Block ~ February Art Daily

 During the February Art Daily Challenge

I combined  Day 14 with  Day 15

since they were already fused from a previous 

project and only needed hand stitching.

And yet, as I'm preparing to piece 

February Art Daily Leaves it needed one more block.

A fellow quilter suggested using another painted swirl background

which will fit nicely in the open space

next to Day 14 and Day 15.

Thanks everyone for your helpful comments and opinions

of Auditioning Shapes Using Freezer Paper.

I decided to go with the squares and when I 

was laying them out chose to turn the squares into diamonds.

They are hand appliqued and the piece is ready for the next step.
