I'd like to thank all those who entered my Pay It Forward event, greatly appreciated. The names were entered into brown paper bags and the following three names were selected: Joyce from Cambridge (no blog); Gina at http://gina-catswhiskers.blogspot.com/ and Tracee at http://farmgatecreations.blogspot.com/. Congratulations to you all!
I picked up some fabric last Friday for a new project. My sister requested a quilt with the following colours - chocolate brown, sage green and pink.
Here's what I picked up at my LQS. The top fabric is actually a dark green and the stripe near the bottom is a sage green. |
I then went through my own fabric and added a few more items to round out the selection, but I'm not really happy with that pink fabric...it's just too much I think. |
Much better now that the pink is gone. I'm aiming for a muted look for this quilt. |
Here's a closer look at some of the fabric. There's still pink in the quilt, but it's subtle, which I like. I hope to get a block or two done to show you tomorrow. |
Enjoy!

Congrats winners!
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you to make a quilt for your sister. I like that pop of pink in the fabrics. I will be looking forward to seeing what you end up using.
Oh, but that pink will make the quilt sparkle. Just use it sparingly...perhaps in a narrow flange around one of the borders...

Perhaps Anya is right. If you limit the pink, it may add some interest. Key word - sparingly.
