A Ribbon Stripe plus a large scale floral equals "I really like this"
 
4 Attachment(s)
sometimes, two rogue fabrics will have a chance meeting from the separate bins and shelves of my stash, and when they make a great pair, the gears start turning in my head.
Such is the case with this Hoffman floral (a thrift store treasure find, by the way) and this Marcus stripe, bought only because a quilt shop was having a great sale and the stripes are always on the sale rack.

I made 'chevron' units with the striped fabric and framed the floral. Added some four-patch units, and voila!

This just needs the wide floral border sewn on, and I will take the time to miter it.

have a good evening.

That is very clever. I like your whole design. It has given me a great idea to do with some stripped material that I have.

Wonderful!! Love the floral and matched with that stripe turned into chevrons is to die for. A beauty made even more special from the frugality of it. Awesome job!

Good job.

I really like the way this turned out. I think you did a fabulous job bring these two fabrics together. You have created something very nice. :thumbup:

Oh I just love this one! What a clever use of the stripe, it turned out beautifully.

sue z q 12-10-2012 06:20 AM

Really cute. The stripes remind me of those Christmas lights in the tubes; like they're chasing each other.

sewmom 12-10-2012 06:31 AM

I absolutely love your design. I wish my brain played that good!

newbee 12-10-2012 07:15 AM

Wow, I wouldn't know what to do with either fabric, but you turned them into a beautiful quilt. Thanks for sharing!

Roma Bauder 12-10-2012 08:45 AM

thanks for this, I have some fabric that would work. Yeah!

lodes48 12-10-2012 11:33 AM

I really like the chevrons. What a good idea to make them off the corner. Still looks like a square but no worries in making the corners match. Wonderful job!
