I recently put together a quilt top - here it is in strips, before being sewn together. My intent was to use greens, blues and yellows, with a bit of warm pink here and there. As I was cutting I wondered how it would look with so many pea greens next to cooler greens, aquas near dark blues. I had my doubts. But one thing I've realized I'm not good at, is imagining how something is going to look.
Anna has many times exclaimed over the transformation which takes place after quilting - how the whole thing seems to come alive. But I'm already amazed at how pretty this is - so much better than I imagined! It's off to the side while I sew something else, but not for long; I look forward to finishing this patchwork quilt.
Oh, it is so pretty! I love how the colors work together.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt top really is lovely and the colours certainly look good together. Have fun finishing it off.
ReplyDeleteIt really is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies. I really am amazed at how pretty it looks.
ReplyDeleteIt's so very Spring-like! I think it helps that those are relatively small squares - maybe the colours would not looks so good next to one another in larger quantities, so to say. This way, it's just like a meadown in bloom - some of those colours, you would not think of putting together, but Someone knew better. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSince it's the first quilt of that type I'm making, I decided it would go in the spare room, and those colors are what's in there. I like it!
DeleteI think this will look very nice. Like a cool summer meadow. Oh, how I wish I could quilt...
ReplyDeleteThank you, but you can, you CAN!! These colors look good, but I cut them out so badly that some are rectangles; consequently, they aren't going to line up evenly. Still, I'm going to make it up anyhow. People may think what they like!
