I’ve also been binge watching the latest series of *Bridgerton and wanted my palette to reflect those soft blues & pastel Bridgerton vibes. Anyone else a Bridgerton fan too?
I’m definitely on team scrappy but must admit, I'm super happy with how the pink center pinwheel and background triangles give some cohesion to this 1st block.
I decided to jump right in and use a newly release pattern, the 'Marjorie' quilt from Jennifer at penelopehandmade. It's a variation of the traditional 'dutchman's puzzle' block, with classic/vintage vibes that I just love. The pattern has instructions for both a limited palette and a scrappy version.
With a Bridgerton inspired palette in mind, I had a little play to try and replicate the colours in PreQuilt (digital colouring pages) - it's first time I've done this. Lots of fun selecting options & tweaking colours, and after some time I finally settled on a plan, something that ended up slightly different from my inspiration pic, but something that could work for me and my fabrics here.
And my fabric pull so far ...

... and my trial block ...
Looks like another HST quilt is underway, not my most favourite units to trim but I do love how they look.
Until next time, Linda
