Chelsea from Pins & Bobbins has started cutting her fabric for the quiltalong Made in Cherry.
I'm not going to do any cutting yet as I'll be using charm packs: Martha Negley's Autumn Medley.
Not fitting for the time of year, because yesterday in a copse nearby it was spring. This morning everything was white and the grass made a noise when you stepped on it like it was cracking.
But by the time I'm finished with this one it'll be autumn ...
Here's my fabric:
I have not yet decided on the background.
Dorothy took a different approach, sensible even! She's made the quilt using 1" squares and it looks lovely. Take a look here.
Today veryberryhandmade a great giveaway will start. She hasn't posted any real details yet, but it sounds very promising. Hop on over.
Now I have to feed Angus (the dog) and take him out for a walk.
I must have lost some weight by now!!
Wow! This fabric is absolutely stunning! It is going to look a-mazing ...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric choice Betty - it will be stunning! So fun we are both doing this qal :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Have you thought about using a chocolate brown with them? My next thought is purple.
ReplyDeleteLovely autumnal pallet - gives you plenty of time to finish it ;o)
ReplyDeleteThat's going to be a stunningly beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteSuper autumny! I think charm squares sounds a lot easier than cutting 1 inch strips though; she must be very patient! Good luck with it!
ReplyDeleteI love your fabric choices, they're so rich!
