Here's the first step, black and white four patch blocks along with the other fabrics I'll be using. I only made 96 of the four patch instead of 192 like she has in the instructions. If I need the finished quilt to be bigger I'll just add more borders. I had a heck of a time deciding on fabrics for this project. I knew I didn't want the lime green Bonnie was using. I may change some of these fabrics and add some darker blue and some darker purple.
I love your colour choices. I think your quilt will be stunning. When I saw the thumbnail the orange just drew me straight in. I too am reducing the size of the quilt (by half) - I am aiming for a wall hanging (and I have orange as one of my colours too!).
ReplyDeleteI had such a hard time using the dark gold colors. I'm not an orange person and the colors were too close to orange to suit me. I was going to use some green/aqua fabrics. But, at my husbands urging, I stepped outside my comfort zone. Time will tell if I made the right decision!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing what everyone has pulled out for the background and their choice for constant! Thank you for sharing yours, Sharyn
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color combination!!!! This will be such a pretty quilt :)
ReplyDeleteI really like this! The golden orange will be so pretty with the blue and purple. And the 4-patches are cheerful and whimsical. It's so fun following along with everyone's progress.
