I'm loving the blocks. But now that they're together, I'm really not liking the tan for the setting blocks. It had been a spur of the moment decision to swap out the original design of light blue and tan. I like the pebbly/sandy texture, but I didn't realized it would become the predominant color on the quilt (which is pretty silly, considering how many yards I bought).
Last night I played with some fabrics I have on hand: greens, yellows and grey. I have a spring green that didn't look bad, although I fear it may fight with one of the blocks that's a bit more green than blue. Obviously I require another trip to the store. Sigh. The whole thing is on hold until I find more fabric. Doesn't look like I'll have it done to use this summer. Bummer.

Your blocks look great! It is disappointing when what we thought would work doesn't. I actually like your carpet color for the setting blocks... at least in the photos.
ReplyDeleteYour post caught my eye immediately in the link up at Freemotion by the River. I participated in a round robin last year and made a row in a quilt very similar. I had to check it out only to find that it is different. It is so pretty though!
