Giant Scrappy Swoon Quilt Along
#21

I've changed my mind about my color choices. I have a boatload of black & whites so that will be my background. Now I'm thinking reds for my primary color and maybe pinks for the secondary color.
What is everyone else considering?

I was considering the same thing -- I have a ton of black-on-white fabric & thought about reds, too -- only I made that quilt already for one daughter's memory quilt (2010), which is why I have so much b&w leftover! But I couldn't think of a third color myself. My other choice would be Christmas, since I always wanted a Christmas quilt -- & there's no point in waiting until November to start that one. But I don't think I have enough reds for either, anyway. So I'm still thinking!

I'm thinking batiks fabric, with purple, blue, green and off white on white or cream on cream for background. I haven't pulled the colors yet. Or use Christmas fabric reds, greens, blue and white fabric with snow flakes. I finally decide after I full my fabric.

I was considering pink and navy similar to the photo, but after you mentioned pink and browns, I'm debating that combination. So many people do not like brown (I'm not one of them) in a quilt that I have a lot of brown stash. Seems it is prominent on the sale racks so I buy it for who-knows-what!! LOL!! I'm excited to get started on this new project; not that I don't have gobs of UFO's.

OK everyone! Here we go! Keep in mind this whole quilt is made of 3 1/2" squares and 3 1/2" HST's in various color combinations.
STEP ONE: Please piece together 36 -3 1/2" squares from your PRIMARY color which will be the center of our star. This section should measure 18 1/2" square unfinished.
Go get 'em!!!
