I did it up in oranges and then filled in the triangles with fabric that I made up of dark greens and blacks (totally love making fabric from scraps!) and called it Pumpkin Patch at Midnight (https://rie-quiltbee.blogspot.ca/search/label/Pumpkin%20Patch%20at%20Midnight). It was just so much fun to watch it come together. I love the scrappiness of yours and those polka dots are perfect.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05578906262073646500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-50729628669759476562018-01-24T18:04:44.966+13:002018-01-24T18:04:44.966+13:00Love the upholstery, and its funny how sometimes t...Love the upholstery, and its funny how sometimes those simple blocks are the hardest ones to put together!Suz Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11258780686330752534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-22198857656119094532018-01-24T07:24:41.488+13:002018-01-24T07:24:41.488+13:00I really like the touches of stronger blue and ora...I really like the touches of stronger blue and orange and am impressed you are managing to sneak sewing time in still.

I like the larger spiderwebs and really like the calm fabric you chose for the stars. It's almost like the blue microdot I almost used for my border. And yours looks wonderful. Interesting that you're adding it to the centers of your spiderwebs. This will be a lovely quilt with all the beautiful blues. <br />Such a good job recovering the chair cushions.

The "star" part was done in a 2 tone gold stripe. First strip on each side was a black, and from there on it was "any color goes". I love this quilt and intend to make many more----we all say "it's a scrap user"---ha ha---scraps just keep multiplying like hangers in the closet. :-) What I liked best about BH's instructions is using the phone book pages as the foundation--yes it makes an extra step to pull the paper off, but what else do you do while streaming something on "TV" ? Also there is no extra weight in the final quilt as when you use fabric as the foundation. And yes, I did use fabric one time, and it is the heaviest quilt I own. Would never do it again<br />Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05893201949789268980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-53363868344522195022018-01-21T18:41:02.467+13:002018-01-21T18:41:02.467+13:00beautiful spring looking quilt blocks and a beauti...beautiful spring looking quilt blocks and a beautiful chair!!! lovely work.
