First layout...............


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.

  3. I like the border idea - it would contain the blue and pink blocks.

  4. The mix of prints is definitely frothy. I agree about the border.

  5. Blue, Red ‘n White has a Vintage Beauty look to it, so mesmerizing to see so many chintz like prints.

  6. 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!

    Hugs!

  7. 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!
