I find I swing often between delightful vintage florals and muted colours to these wonderfully bright and bold colours, it all depends on the mood I am in palette-wise.
The Daylesford quilt pattern is certainly the perfect one to let your imagination run wild with. I am following the inspiration quilt fairly closely, but it's still an exciting challenge getting my fabrics to work together. For me the fabrics tend to dictate the next row, but even so, I have unpicked a couple of rows as I've added more.
There's quite a party on the design floor this week

That’s as far as I got yesterday and I’m happy with it.

This is just too fun! I'm going to have to try this someday but I'm not sure I have the knack. You definitely do. . .
ReplyDeleteThis is my kind of quilt!!!It's a beauty Linda, lots of colour and can't wait to see more in your next post.
ReplyDeleteLUV!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such fun! I've had a small center block about 16" square from a friend that has been waiting for inspiration. I think this is it! Thanks for sharing your progress.
ReplyDeleteYour combination of fabrics is working so good!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty, Linda! I always enjoy seeing the combination of colors and prints you put together. Those pinks and blues are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love that you've incorporated animal prints in with vintage-style florals. How very fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSuch great colors, and lots and lots of stuff going on in your prints, from flowers to geometrics. Looking good!
ReplyDeleteYou are choosing amazing colors and prints!! How cool!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are having a lot of fun; it's bright, fun and full of great prints and movement!
ReplyDeleteThis is just fabulous, Linda! I feel the same way about fabrics; after I finish my Halo quilt using all those floral prints I'm going to swing wildly in the opposite direction and go back to sewing with all solids for my Deco quilt. But if I had access to YOUR stash of gorgeous floral prints, I don't think I could ever sew with anything else!
