checkered rose

These blocks began as a bit of a side project to use up my somewhat limited stash of solids. Yes, it's another 'checkered garden' quilt. I know the pattern (from Ashley @ filminthefridge) so well now that I figured I could really focus on getting a nice flow happening with my colours. 

I'm playing with multiple pretty soft colours from my stash and adding in a mix of shadowy greys for the background corners.  Oh, and despite starting out thinking this would be an all-solids project, I ended up slipping in some prints along the way. 

Super happy with the contrast of the pretty shades against the grey tones, have a peek at my 'checkered rose' quilt top so far ... 

 a little stripe here, a little print there

- it's the little details that make me smile

9 blocks done, 7 more to go

Until next time, Linda
