The contrast is not as high as it looks in this photo. I even re-took the photo to try to get a better color and contrast. This is the first layout, 6" finished blocks (48" x 60"). The quilt in the book has a border of triangles of 2 prints.
I looked through all of the blue fabrics and found 2 that I have enough of. I just have to decide if I would rather just make more blocks or do the border like the book.
Here are the photos again of the 2 quilts. The blue one has the pieced border and the green one has no border.
I can start sewing the pink/green blocks while I think about it. I didn't get all of the new pinks and green cut yet so I just matched up pairs of the ones that were already cut. Some of these may change as I get the rest cut.
the blues and pinky-reds are so pretty together...I like the blue border idea a lot...

I vote do the blue border! I really like the two fabrics you selected.
ReplyDeleteI like the border idea - it would contain the blue and pink blocks.
ReplyDeleteI like the blue border
ReplyDeleteThe mix of prints is definitely frothy. I agree about the border.
ReplyDeleteBlue, Red ‘n White has a Vintage Beauty look to it, so mesmerizing to see so many chintz like prints.

Have fun choosing what border(s) to add to this charming pink/blue quilt and while sewing the pink/green quilt together. What fun and how satisfying!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Oh Wanda, I love both of these quilts! The pink and blue one reminds me of "traditional" fabric from the distance. You really know how to bring things together!
ReplyDeleteI really like the look of the border.
