Still in love with solids

July 27, 2011 9 Comments

I put to good use the last pieces of my solid collection - 9" squares. I spent some time wondering which fabric would look best as background: tan, black or white.White color won. Black looks too dramatic and anyway I think it is not a proper color for a young boy. I have no idea what I am making here but it should be something beautiful because this quilt will be for a special 6 year … [Read more...]

2 in 1 quilt

So, this is my quilt of (too) many colors! You can see here 9 rows, the top has 13 rows. - 90"x90" ( what size is this ?

Quilt Top Finished

Here is the top of my new quilt. I would have loved to add some pieced borders (because it is a little shorter) but I ran out of tan fabric. I was a little nervous while I pieced the blocks because I did not know how all these colors work together but I think the tan fabric tie them wonderfully! I love it ! Sure I would have loved it even more with white fabric instead of tan. But I … [Read more...]
