Look at this – fabric that’s not orange or brown!
I wanted to see the new Amy Butler Daisy Chain line in person, so I bought several half yards a few weeks ago. They’re really quite bold, and I wasn’t sure what I’d use them for. They’ve been sitting in a stack on the floor of my office, and every once in a while I pulled them out and tried to pair them – thinking of possibly some more market bags, or maybe pillows. I just wasn’t feeling it though.
Then the other day I decided to just use them all together for a strip quilt. For some reason, I didn’t think they went that well together when sitting in a stack, but cut up into strips and sewn together – nice! I added some of the Lime Full Moon Polka Dots and some old Urban Chicks avocado houndstooth fabric I had.
The color scheme is quite a departure from my last few quilts, but surprisingly, I’m really liking it. I have the strips all sewn together, and now I’m thinking about how I’ll make it wider. I guess that’s always a limitation to this type of strip quilt!
Another completed quilt…
I saw snow… time for scarves!
Oh I like it too! Can’t wait to see what it becomes!
I think you should post a long picture of ALL the quilts you’ve completed so far, lined up on that snow fence! It would be a BEAUTIFUL picture!
Looks good! Those fabrics are fun
stripes are so classic. this quilt is fabulous, too. do you ever make an ugly one? oh, why ask. i’m sure you don’t! what size is this one?
Really, now you’re just taunting me. HOW do you do it all?
its looking fabulous……I just love AB
