I made a quilt using a Summer Breeze layer cake. it turned out beautiful. I used a Jenny Doan pattern--think it was called Double Slice. You can find it on U tube.

Challenging project! Good for you. However, as noted in another reply, I would be careful about placing the yellows next to the cream. You'd need a very bright yellow to provide enough contrast. I have been guilty several times of being disappointed in the quilt because of lack of contrast in my colors. Everything just blends together until it's difficult to see the pattern. I'd try some sample blocks before plunging ahead on the quilt. Good luck! Very nice of you to make her a quilt.

My favorite quilt is blue and yellow with white. That white just pops everything, but if you want to blend the colors, then cream would be a good choice. I used the white as the blue and yellow prints had that in the background. That's a happy combination of colors!

I've downloaded the quilt and I'm wondering, what if you used black as the background? Would the strips stand out more and then the yellow wouldn't get lost or any other light color you choose? Just an idea.

Pm me your address. If I dig in my stash I am sure I can find your colors.

Wonderful bunch of quilters come together to help a fellow quilter!! I love the blue and yellow idea with white. Bright yellow with white or white on white would work well. I, too, will send you some strips. I have been saving blues and yellows for a quilt of my own (which I don't have because I give my quilts away!). PM your address. You want 2.5 inch or 3 inch strips? If we send strips, you can just start sewing when you get them in the mail!

I have just been reading a blog where it states someone to make a lovely coloured quilt has purchased the scraps from somewhere on the Internet. Can't find out where a google search may help. Thought if you are running short this may help instead of buying large fabric pieces.
