Sort of like the crazy amount of time it takes to get 'that natural look' with makeup when that was a big trend. This quilt is going to last a lot longer than that, pretty good for second chances.Robbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13963176990398590719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-8518050853926933342016-05-24T01:34:12.439+12:002016-05-24T01:34:12.439+12:00I love all your happy colors!

I have a lot of Amy fabrics left from a quilt and it’s appealing to start a simple quilt that will let all the fabrics speak for themselves!!

It's so interesting how people avoid dark fabrics thinking it will boggle up the appearance, but it's really the opposite. You've shown exactly how it anchors it, Linda. Then I like how I can see the medium fabrics show up with the lighter ones. I don't think my eye would pick that up as well without the dark to add the contrast. Overall, it really does have that vintage, back-porch-swing appeal to me. I would love to have made this quilt. Good job, and Lucky You!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834496271292973632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-9768802823539752612016-05-23T21:31:06.930+12:002016-05-23T21:31:06.930+12:00That's really pretty Linda - I think you'r...That's really pretty Linda - I think you're right about that dark fabric pulling it all together and giving it some zing!
