I found the stripe fabric at mill end textiles and couldn't decide how to use it. Well here it is. I'm planning on making it twin size and donating it to IHN. You may need your sunglasses

showed it to my 12 1/2 yr old granddaughter (also a quilter) ... her response... "that's cool!"
so from a pre-teen's opinion... it passes :D

It passes anyway... I love brights...

I think it's great! Love bright colors!

Which IHN will you be donating to? IHN is a passion for me.

IHN is Interfaith Hospitality Network.

it is a program for homeless families with children. They sleep in the churches on air beds. (Each church hosts the families for one week at a time). The parents get counseling and help with job searches, etc. Each church provides a driver for the van to get everyone to school or the dayhouse and provide the evening meal. The success rate is very high. Great program.

No sunglasses needed here. I love bright colors and I love the quilt. I am cutting out several. #1 is called Old Glory and it is an old pattern. I am giving it a new look. #2 is a DWR that will have lots of bright colors in it. Old Glory was making toooooo many good scraps to toss. I re-purposed from one that I had cut out a few yrs ago. it was during my turquoise phase. I just love color

Lacelady 10-31-2011 02:39 AM

I love your stripey fabric! You have made a great start with this.

Juliebelle 10-31-2011 03:35 AM

Love the bright colors

sandyo 10-31-2011 03:50 AM

I love it, want to make a quilt with stripe fabric.

star619 10-31-2011 04:15 AM

Oh my goodness - it made me smile just to see the picture come up.
That was the initial impression. But as I looked at it more closely, I saw how masterfully you offfset the hot colors(orange/pink) with the cool(blue/green)and gave our eyes a place to rest.
I think it is awesome! What could have looked like a bad southwestern omlette :wink: turned out to remind me of a beautiful sunrise. But yours will last for more than the minute we get to say "Oh!" and then it is gone.
Bravo!

Excellent use of the stripes and stash. Inspirational for me. Thanks!!!

Charleen DiSante 10-31-2011 04:23 AM

Love it! You definitely put the stripes to work with the black. It brings out the spirit of the colors. (Is that weird to say?)

QuiltnLady1 10-31-2011 04:28 AM

Love it!! You are doing a terrific job with the bright colors -- very balanced and very attractive.

Being a former hippie, this sure takes me back--about what 1/2 my T-shirt, dress, top wardrobe looked like in my teens and 20's! Love it.
