My plan is to use a mix of pinks, orange/tangerine, bright blues & teal, and brown - and the gold shades would be an accent only, to keep things interesting. I'll also add in a little black and gingham somewhere along the way. Sew, a bit of everything really (wink wink).
While being totally inspired by Jolene, I'm not setting out to make exact matches of her delightful vintage looking quilts. My focus is more to try and capture some of that ‘vibe’ and yet still be reflective of my stash here. My blocks will be a combo of bright fabrics teamed up with a few more muted tones, it's great how a little contrast can add such a depth.

I do seem to have accumulated lots of multi-coloured florals, old & new, and it's a super fun challenge trying to dial it back just a bit with my choices!
lots of leftovers
sorted into a nice combo and jammed into my scrap basket ...
and a few more ...
Until next time, Linda
Wonky stars and nine patches make a great combination!
ReplyDeleteI always like your quilts, they're so colorful! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteYour scrap basket contains really lovely pieces! This is going to be such a happy, summery quilt! I love making the hollow star blocks, they really are quite addictive.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of your wonky stars, especially with the fun centers! This is going to be such a pretty quilt, Linda!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree very happy summery warm nine patches and stars. Cheers me up, thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe wonky stars are such a great little block! So sweet. And I love your floral stash. The orange floral on white is quite lovely.:)
ReplyDeleteI was sure I had left a comment here Linda on your new stars - guessing I may have seen them on Instagram and left a note there, anyway regardless I love your fabric choices here. The first single block is a dream with the little floral fabric.
ReplyDeleteThese blocks are a fun combination. The wonky stars are great!
