Inside I found all these. I immediately knew what design I wanted to try. Any of the prints that don't go with the chosen colors are destined for Quilts for Kids. My working palette is an imaginative red/white/blue.
I spent the day chopping and pressing and chopping and pressing. I didn't sew a single stitch all day. I even went through some of my stash for likely candidates for the new project. I'm going with reds, blues and whites and light tone-on-tone for the contrast. I cut squares to 6.5" to add to my QFK stack, 5" charms because no one has enough, 4" squares to make into 3.5" half-square triangle blocks, 3" squares to make into half-square triangle blocks and stacks and stacks of 2.5" squares. I see many, many, many nine-patches in my future. I'm going to need some more neutrals to make this work, though.
Thats awesome! I can't wait to see it come together. :)
ReplyDeleteI had a friend drop off a huge bag of unwanted fabric, so fun to figure out what to do, can't wait to see!
ReplyDeleteIt was a mini challenge!
