The idea of a quilt comes easily to me, the execution not so much. With a few exceptions, I have generally sewn quilts using fabrics from the same fabric designer and line. Some sewists tsk tsk at this, but I really don't mind. It takes the guesswork out of figuring out which colors and patterns will complement each other. Plus, those fabrics were quite literally made for each other. But I wanted to branch out and challenge myself a bit for the mini quilt swap.
I have a new appreciation for sewists who pair fabrics from different fabrics and lines. It's not as easy as they make it look! I intended to pull many different colors but to my surprise, I ended up pulling mainly yellows, greens, and blues. So I embraced these colors and created a new plan.
This is a pattern I have been wanting to make for a while now, using
this little lovely as my inspiration. I'm excited to see this come together.
I tried to post a comment last week, but I guess it never went through! I love my new quiltie!! I was gone until last Thursday, but it made it safely! Thank you so much for a beautiful treasure and extra goodies!!
