OK, here's the deal....
My friend Sara & I are going to be making a quilt for our friend's daughter's wedding. The bride likes those 1970's style aqua/turquoise & brown prints. This is what we are considering - a single Irish Chain, using those blues & browns in maybe Moda Marbles. Then, for the alternate blocks, I found some Michael Miller fabrics, in his "dumb dots" line, that are the right colors. One alternate block with polka dots, & the other with a print that will read a little darker. I ordered some of the M.Miller fabrics for samples, but, of course, 2 are backordered! Here's a pic of the one that came today, and a diagram of the quilt, with tan & aqua "standing in" for the print fabrics.
What do you think?

Love the fabric and the idea!!!

can't wait to see it finished!

Really nice Sue, think it will go down a treat with the new bride.

Good luck with your project. I like the pattern to.

Your pattern looks beautiful. I made 2 quilts this last year in those colors for wedding gifts. They turned out really nice.

Loving those colors together! That's going to be one great quilt!

Sue-I love the idea of the heart in the quilt-PLEASE don't forget to post those pics as you are working. This is going to be great!

Brown & turquoise is one of my favorite combinations! I love the heart--makes it especially appropriate for a wedding. Lucky bride & groom. What size will it be?

Love the pattern!! Love the colors! They will really look modern and fresh.

That will work. I can't wait to see it started.

Oh I agree the colors are going to work and the heart in the center is a perfect touch for the quilt.

I love the idea and can't wait to see it! As far as shopping, it's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it :lol: Just try to be brave and you'll get through it :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

funky fabric!!! I think she will love it!

You will love it.
I just finished 2 quilts in T and B, one was the pioneer sampler and one was done in a modern pattern. They both came out just right.
The pioneer one is posted in pictures, not a very good picture since I cant get my scanner to make a good clear picture.

I like it.

Very lovely design!! The <3 is really cool!!!!

Go for it Girl. The colors are cool.

This color combo has really grown on me and I'm beginning to love it when I see them combined in the stores. Your idea with the heart is great and I'm sure the bride willl be sooo excited to get this!! Be sure to post pics, I want to see it being "born"!! :lol:

Here we go!! Last weekend, I washed & ironed 17 yards of fabric. Then Sara came over - she cut strips & the alternate blocks & I sewed and she pressed & I sewed some more. :)
Last night I put together most of the 9-patches we had done, and that made 4 whole rows finished! WoooooHooooo!!!!
I laid it out on the dining room table & took some pictures and here they are:

Looks awesome! I love these colors together, and your design is perfect for a wedding. She's going to LOVE it!

I think it will be awesome once it is all finished!!

It's looking good.

Very nice looking quilt. Love the pattern.

Its really looking good! Its gynormous by the way!!

Looking good.. I love the colors..very fun

great job. I love your design!!! And the fabric!!!

I guess this came up during my vacation.

Love the colors and the idea. I'd move the heart down the quilt so that it isn't covered by shams and pillows on the bed.

Are you close to finishing it yet?

Pretty quilt. Like the pattern. She will be so excited to have it!

I have to add my two cents worth and add that it is going to be spectacular. You are just so clever putting that heart in the design and the color scheme is so modern. The bride will love it!---be sure to post more pics....

I agree with Mamagus about moving the heart down so it wouldn't get covered up.

I like the colors and the pattern. I'm sure she'll love it.

My neice just painted her room those colors. It looks really nice though alittle on the trendy side.

You'll have to post a pic of it when you get it finished.
