I've always wanted to make an Amish type quilt.
I love the solid colors against a solid black. So, that's the pallet I chose for my Charming Girl's Quilt Along.
I got several solid colors from the Kona Cotton collection by Robert Kaufman. I like the fabric, it has a very nice feel. I didn't want it to be too rainbow-ish so I kept out reds and oranges. I like the final selection.
I have doubled all measurements in the hopes it will come together more quickly.
Another project I intend to use solids for is Baltimore Halloween. A stunning appliqué quilt I hope to begin in January, 2010.
That halloween quilt is awesome! I can't do applique or won't might be a better term. I've thought about doing a paper piece Halloween quilt. Maybe some day . . .
ReplyDeleteI love the Halloween quilt! I also can't wait to see your Half Pint quilt.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your Amish variation!
ReplyDeleteThe Baltimore Halloween quilt is a whopper of a project. I am anxious to see your blocks as you create it.
ReplyDeleteI just love that Halloween quilt. I remember seeing it last year but I have not bought it and probably won't. I will just watch and enjoy yours as you work on it next year.
ReplyDeleteI love love love your choices of colors. Love that Amish feel. The applique Halloween quilt is quite the stunner. I haven't seen that pattern before.
