Searching for candidates..............

Sometimes the fabrics I pull as candidates for my solids with prints quilts don't end up working, mainly because the scale of print is too large.  I think the bicycles will only work on one of the quilts.



I think all of these will end up the remaining 3 quilts.







The print on the left will work but the other 2 are pretty large prints.  I will still audition them.





I think these are the right scale to work in at least two of the quilts.


It is warming up a little more each day so I think my yard work will be earlier in the day and I'll press and cut some of these fabrics in the afternoon.  I got all of the branches trimmed from the back of the lilac bushes yesterday.  I also dug out a small forsythia volunteer bush and cut all of the branches off of another one.  I gave up trying to dig out the root on the second one.  By another window it was all Rose of Sharon bushes that needed to be removed.

I can see why the smaller figured prints would work so much better--

It has turned really chilly here--only 42 this morning...and it's not climbing up very fast! I think Fall has begun earlier than usual for us here by the Seashore...we are usually warmer until October...but who knows with this strange weather in this weird year...;000
Stay safe and don't overdo...hugs, Julierose

Love that you are working on several quilts at the same time. I plan on making at least one solid and print quilt but now thinking I need to do several. Cutting them at the same time makes so much sense!

I have, and love, that bicycle print, but I’ve yet to find a place for it.
