Reflecting Cityscape - Framed Block

Just squeaking in at the end of Skyscraper Week, here's my third and final skyscraper project.  On Monday we looked at a painting I bought of what I call Parisian Skyscrapers.  Wednesday was my Skyscraper Quilt.


Today, one block, framed without glass.  The block is from Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, volume 6.  It was designed by Pippa Eccles Armbrester and she named it Reflecting Cityscape.

My block is similar to her's in that I used solid colors, but because of the size frame I had, I added an additional building and black borders on the right and left sides.




If I had made the block exactly like her instructions, it would have looked like this.

I have all three of these (painting, quilt, framed block) hanging in one small space, along with those two vintage post cards that appeared with my Skyscraper Quilt.  Nowadays, whenever I'm out shopping, I'm keeping my eyes open for skyscraper or building accessories.  One of these days they'll show up.  

I sure like decorating and redecorating.  Now I've got an itch to redo my sewing room for the millionth time.  But first, I need to make a quilt and turn it in next Saturday.   More about that next week.
