Nice and clean, ready to cut. All that is left on there is the selvage from the fabric I cut for my 89 year old friend. My table rarely looks like this.
It only took me a few hours to have piles all over it again. I want to make a yellow quilt so I pulled the yellow/orange stacks off the shelves and looked through them.
I can't decide what pattern I want to make so I just played with groups that looked good together.
Probably some of these will go with the sunflower stack I showed yesterday.
Of course I had to do a value run. I work that way in so many quilts. These pieces would work in a strip pieced Kaleidoscope or a 6 rail fence.
Then I stacked them neatly back on the shelves and I have a clean table again.
I love looking at your fabric collection, it's better than most quilt shops and so inspiring. I guess most of us can dream of having such wonderful fabrics at the tips of our fingers.
ReplyDeleteI want to go shopping at your house! I really love the fabrics you put together. And your empty table makes me want to cut things today!
ReplyDeletevery cool - neat colors, a lot of times I do not see such a collection of yellows/oranges. I have always heard they aren't popular but I have always liked to use a wide wide of colors those included.

I like your yellows and citrus colors here. Nice and sunny.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted one of those huge tables like they have in some fabric stores. But like you, it would only take me a couple hours and it would be covered with piles!!!
Good job, keeping it clean for a whole day!!!! Love the yellows, golds, oranges....that will make a happy quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love your cutting area, I use my kitchen island counter.
Beautiful fabrics. To have such a wide variety of choices, you live every quilters dream.
ReplyDeleteHmmm yellow might be my new pink!
ReplyDeleteOooh, what fun it must be to play with those glorious sunshiny colours! A quilt made with those will be fantastic!
ReplyDeleteGreat colors, Wanda,
ReplyDeleteI love the sunflower piece in your yellows. I don't collect much orange - it is interesting to see how colors come and go.
The table looks like a lovely one- to have it stay clean would mean you weren't creating - that would be a real shame- You do such beautiful work.
Regards,
Anna
These fabrics are a joy... I got a Hancocks catalog in the mail yesterday and with this, the drooling never stops. Unfortunately, the bankroll has its limits though!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the yellow quilt you will create...
Love your yellows and oranges! What a wonderful stash to pull fabrics from. They will make a bright, sunny quilt!
ReplyDeleteI have to laugh...aren't we all like that? I clean my studio and it takes all day and then three hours later I already have more piles. You do have a wonderful stash of fabrics and it's lots of fun looking at them.
ReplyDeleteLuscious luscious luscious!!!! Can not wait to see this one.
ReplyDeleteHi Wanda,
ReplyDeleteAh, to have a cutting area that clean, even temporarily. You have an outstanding collection of yellows! Not easy to find just the right yellow when you want it.
I heard one quilt teacher say "every quilt needs a little yellow" as a spark, and I have to agree.
Your grey fabric yesterday says "skirt" to me! Add a t-shirt or camp shirt of that pink in the print and you're all set.

These fabrics are all wonderfully vibrant!
ReplyDeletePulling fabrics out is so much fun. Putting them back, not so much..
ReplyDeleteHi Wanda, I've been following your blog for quite awhile but this is my first post. I'm addicted to your site! Your creations and colors and touch of nature are so inspiring to me! I've been quilting for about 20 years and LOVE the blog connection to see that others are as obsessed as I am with fabric, colors, creations and the "just wanted to see what it would look like" and the "just wanted to see if I could do it" crowd. Thanks for sharing!!
