Have you made a one colour quilt before?
Worried it might come out plain & dull?
Worried you might not have enough of your chosen colour in the stash?
Me too!
Using a single focal colour is a challenge for me - if you've stopped by before, you'll know I'm a scrappy quilter who loves using lots of multi-coloured florals. But I fell in love with a photo my friend Glenys sent me earlier in the week of a couple of quilts @ cuttingcloth in Australia, and I was keen to give it a go.
After some faffing around, I've chosen to make an easy, scrappy take on the traditional Log Cabin patchwork block. And I've decided I'm going to make a green quilt, inspired by the beauty & freedom of a tangled messy garden.
I want to be more intentional about colour value though, and maybe just not use every green under the sun ...
I'm thinking of using a scrappy mix of minty/teal gentle greens and adding a healthy dose of low volumes & grey (both highlighting just a little pink), and maybe some pops of dark green/blue for contrast. I'm hoping the finished over-all look will be green, calm & serene.
