Always so fun to figure out what the pattern is going to be, that is for sure.
Have fun with your quilty ladies.
I agree ... accomplishing one practical application while taking care of a needed gift ... life doesn't get much better than that!
So, we have nine inch squares ...
actually ... charms are shapes all the same ... can be triangles, rectangles, anything ... just different fabrics.
We can buy charm packets, but those are five inch squares, so that is what I was ???? about ...
For the charm squares, I am thinking ... nine inches, variety of different fabrics in the same color family - - so, that suggests to me that the variety is important, but how important? Do I need to find 24 different reds? (I might not have a problem doing that <g> ,,, but will ponder it some more.)
12 DIFFERENT light fabric fat quarters ... so if I am using wood for the sashing and border, I am going to have to avoid tan, since the wood grain is light as in oak or pine ... wood is very calming to me (as in 2x4 between the eyes! LOL)
so, now ... on the additional dark scraps ... can I make those out of blue? I suspect this is going to set the mood for the quilt, so thinking ....
what am I trying to convey with the quilt? hmmmm .... have to go do some more laundry.
Are we having fun yet?
