R1, R2, R3 & R 4 : Marianne

Hi, I'm Marianne.
Thanks for allowing me to join in. I was searching for a round robin and this is so different I had to try it.

I've gone off on a different route. Instead of piecing my blocks I am using rubber stamps, inks, paint and sharpies. I will be doing more piecing with step 5.




#1 is the center block with the numbers and the word, both done with rubber stamps
#2 is to the left of center- red purple and blue with stamped stitches.
#3 top has three green stamped patches on what was once a cream swirl print. I darkened it with ink to a golden color
#4 to the right is a basket weave print over colored with purple ink. The dark line is a little over 1/4 inch from the edge so it will still be visible when an if something is added to that side.
Hopefully when I add step #5 I'll be able to get a better photo. The colors are off a bit.
