Oh Jan, I just love the batiks in that bag. I'm sure your friend thinks warm thought of you whenever she loads it up to take for her sessions.

JanRN ... now that's a nice bag! I really like the mix of colours and fabrics. Looks like it's well constructed with a place for everything and everything in its place. With all that consideration, your friend will feel like you are right there with her! :)

I thought I'd put the blue up on my design wall, and see how it looked. IF I go for the blue, I think it'd be best to be a little darker, yet still with some life to it. I had orignally thought of a rust colour, like I"ve been using for the pair photos. And not settled on any of them yet. Any suggestions as to what other colours to try. Wonder, brown? |
I have previewed a darker brown, then a charcoal grey - did not like either. Right now I have a multi toned brown blender up on my display wall. Not sure that one is right either. Oh well, something will pop up and I'll know it is the "right" one.

Wonderful eye candy!! They look great, QuiltE!! And I love your yellow theme...sunshine all the way! Any earthy tone will match your yellow...sunshine and clear blue skies. Love the "cows". I will dig out my cheddar cheese pattern one day in the future.

Wow! Great job, QE. Nice balance of colors and contrast. I like the blue but agree maybe darker. When I was on our last FART the LQS had a wall of Jinny Beyer blenders.-gorgeous! There was a dark chocolate brown that you might like-it would really make your yellow pop. (Check out her website for the colors). Whatever you decide, it will be a beautiful quilt.

Very nice blocks QuiltE!! I too like the yellow with blue background--agreeing that maybe a little darker would be good.

Thanks Ladies, for your positive feedcback and sashing suggestions. The blue I was thinking, would be more the darker colours than what's on the board ... anything I had was too small, or just too dark! More like the blue in Best Friend ... and I don't have enough to even be bothered putting it up! I'll check my stash for a brown to try.
I'm intrigued with those two step sashings we were talking about in another thread, (1/4" frame then sashing) .... If I were to do that, what colours? Would the yellow be too much, with a dark 1/4" frame? Or would it just give a nice open fresh, summery look? (not sure if I'd have enough yellow, but think I might ....) This is so nice to have friends to quilt with and I appreciate Everyone of You SO much for your caring and sharing!!! ... other than my LQS, I really don't have anyone to work thru these things with. The one is very good, though I am never sure if she appreciates seeing my work when my stash is mostly not from her shop. I do try to give her a lot of my new business ... batting, FWS sashing, and of course, FQs that jump into my arms or other special fabrics that will work with PC!! |
