Playing around with some more intricate cozy designs, and made this is a customized tea cozy made for Christine H. for her birthday with some semi-intricate piecing, made in colors to match her new décor/ informed by her tastes. Took quite a bit longer than a solid design, but I like the result. In terms of customization, the teal-and-spotted triangles were pieced from small off-cut triangles from another project (#recycling) but also reflect her new accent colors, the traditional florals at the top are from a couple of vintage pieces found at a craft fair inspired by her teacup collection, the gold stripes reflect her gold shelves in the updated living space, and I added some small panels of leafy greens inspired by her love of Blanche Devereaux's wallpaper in The Golden Girls. The whole thing is lined with a graphic print of apples and limes (see my grocery bag experiment), and bound with some homemade bias tape. TBH, based on her reaction I am not sure that she liked the cozy that much, but I am pleased with how it turned out. So there you go! Can't win them all, but I enjoyed the process of thinking about the elements, and am generally pleased the final outcome
