Can you please help me with the most difficult part of my quilt-making? I am terribly lacking in skill when it comes to picking color combos and usually have to cheat by copying something from a magazine, or ordering a quilt-kit. :oops: I have plenty of scraps, so I'm thinking a nice scrappy windmill might be in order!
I am going on a bus tour with our local guild to a show in early May - with several planned stops at LQS's. Can you please suggest your favorite 3 color and 4 color combos?
Anything will work in the off white and bright room!
It's not about what our favourite colour combos are for quilts. More so, in this case, use the colours that your daughter adores!
Let her help pick out the colours/fabrics and pattern. Or if you want it to be a surprise, then, go with colours and pattern type that you know she will like.
This is all about your love stitched into the quilt and your daughter having it as an anchor during those homesick moments she just may have as she steps into the brave new world, away from the nest!
