It struck me this weekend that while being so focused lately on using-the-stash, I still had quite a few fabrics that I never seem to actually use, ones that felt too bold, too multi-coloured, and/or too tricky to mix.
So, this started out as a few experimental blocks up on the design wall, testing a mix of pinks, purples, blues from stash. "Good colours" was Mr D's comment as he passed the sewing room.
It's a mix of AMH fabrics with a selection of Alison Glass & other blenders, crazy busy and all over the place (but quietly thoroughly thought out!). Loving the value contrast in these blocks.
It’s fun playing with all the scrappy possibilities,
and I may have just found the. perfect. border!

Mr. D is right about these blocks showcasing wonderful color. I can't wait to see more of this quilt!
ReplyDeleteOhh, yes, good colors! and contrast. I love the flowers, birds and butterflies, organic makes my heart sing.
ReplyDeleteGood colors, great variety of patterns in your block centers. This one's a winner I think!
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see fabrics that are in my stash as well, but in completely different colours! Love your stars and the border fabric needs a standing ovation!
ReplyDeleteIf you are auditioning that border, it's a winner!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt.. It looks like you bought fabric specifically for this quilt. Good eye!
ReplyDeleteYes to the stunning border fabric!!! I have that one in my stash, perfect for borders.
ReplyDeleteWonderful blocks and I love the border fabric.
ReplyDeleteLots of beautiful fabric were used in these blocks. Love the birds fabric!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that interesting, how we can somehow manage to ignore some quite interesting fabrics. Never the right quilt! Love how you put your fabrics together and that floral border fabric pull is just scrumptious!:)
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a gorgeous collection of colours in these blocks. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteLovely, fresh and lively star blocks mixing those prints beautifully, and OH MY GOSH I am now obsessed with your border print fabric!! Please tell me it's a recent purchase and not from your Deep Stash???
