As I recently stated, I am planning to do the monthly
sew along for the Shenandoah Valley Botanical Album quilt. As I am wont to do, I have created a drawing of my concept and picked some scraps to visually get an idea of that concept.

I like it and I'm interested to see it play out in the 20" block size. I'm making it the size of the original because I plan for it to be my Spring bedspread. As much of these colors that I have in fabric, I do not have much that is large enough for backgrounds for the size block I'm making since I got them for a Dear Jane quilt (which will be the Spring wall hanging in the bedroom) and bought mostly fat quarters.
Darn, must go shopping! In my defense, I plan to use fabric from my stash for all of the applique pieces. Well, unless I find the perfect shade of green (or fuschia or pink or periwinkle) while I'm out and about.
I LOVE your color combinations for this quilt!
ReplyDeleteGee, I'm wondering if I need to adjust the color button on my monitor - somehow what began as lavender has morphed into peach? I do look forward to watching progress on this and might even run a betting system on the final background color! But seriously, a beautiful start has been made.
ReplyDeleteThere are still lavenders,and some pink. Very bad camera lighting!
ReplyDeleteI've made some changes. After reading Dorry's comments and looking at my original thoughts, I realized I had way more pink than I initially wanted, and I still fell it's too much pink (as much as I love these fabrics).
