I'm making a bunch of easy scrappy blocks at present, a take on the traditional Log Cabin patchwork block. I'm using a mix of gentle greens in minty/teal tones with a healthy dose of low volumes & some muted darker greens for contrast.
This whole process of being intentional about colour value is a great fun challenge! I really trying not to overthink this process LOL! But must admit, I’ve spent quite a bit of time auditioning my fabrics and many of my blocks do have the same fabrics. Super happy with all the little pops of pink!
At this point though, I’m still undecided about adding in all the olives/chartreuse/limes, but I am thinking a combo of teal & pops of chartreuse could look super. I'm reminded of what Kathy said too - if you add 20 shades of blue green, then they make each other shine!
Let's see what happens with my next batch of blocks ...
Love 'em.
ReplyDeleteYour log cabins are so pretty! I like the color palette you chose, and I especially like the contrast in prints. The checked and plaid designs look very nice against the small florals. It's really a great mix of patterns. Keep enjoying! This is gonna be a wonderful quilt.
ReplyDelete'Gentle Greens', very scrappy happy Log Cabin blocks.
ReplyDeleteI love your mix of colour with your fabrics Linda and does it really matter if you have the same fabric in some of the blocks, I don't think so. All the blocks are mixing well together and the pops of pink - perfect.
ReplyDeleteThis is coming along beautifully. I love the soft palette.
ReplyDeleteI think the colour/shade combos are working well together. And as you say, the pops of pink are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLOVELY palette - just keep going! Gwen and Freddy were also of the school that if one red was good fifty reds were better.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about Linda's log cabin blocks...the colours and gorgeous fabrics, overall romantic, soft look.
