I haven’t used a lot of white fabric in my quilts lately, or lots of solids either for that matter. <br />But I wanted to give it a go, it’s modern yet... simple, wonky & fresh. <br /><br />I did start out with the ‘on point’ Kaffe pattern thinking – anything will work! But it didn’t :(<br />So I’ve had a few versions of this up on the design wall now, and hopefully I’m slowly getting there.<br />Thanks for stopping by<br />Linda @ kokaquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01942832808800906728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-17324918886564513032017-03-30T08:07:44.284+13:002017-03-30T08:07:44.284+13:00Your Chinese coins turned out beautifully!

It's so fun to see how this simple design can be altered and adjusted. <br />I like the way you organized your scrap design by color. <br />Thanks for joining #AHIQChineseCoins and linking your post which adds so much to conversation.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-5025884490341257652017-03-29T12:28:22.709+13:002017-03-29T12:28:22.709+13:00The whites go so well in the improv, especially be...The whites go so well in the improv, especially because of the flowery speingtime theme.

I have been thinking about starting to cut up some squares or strips or something with my stash. It really needs some pruning and if I have pre-cut pieces, maybe they'll actually get used! Love your scrappy quilts! I haven't had the guts to try anything wonky yet. I just finished a wonky block for a Stash Bee and it was waaay outside my comfort zone!

I really liked how adding the white set off your prints so you could see just them without competing, but as my eye went around the top it stopped with the blue with grey spot, and Liberty looking with lavender. They look amazing together!<br /><br />And I have to say something about your Kaffe quilt. I've tried several times to make quilts based on color contrast without regard to the print, and have failed. It was somehow too jumbled up. But I see you've paired several of the same fabrics in a row one after the next, and it works SO well. That is a trick I will use the next time. I'm glad I saw it work here. Good lesson for me.
