I've been reading this blog for a while and decided I should join in. I have made a start on the Roseville Album quilt. Like others I took some time to decide on a background fabric but in the end went for a dark colour as I am also doing Kim McLean's Flower Basket medallion and it is on a white background. This is my first block laid out ready to stitch. As this is my first "Blog" attempt I'm hoping everything works!! Thanks for all the inspiration.
Welcome Jennifer! ; ) Your block is looking FABULOUS!!! That blue background is amazing. I just LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteCan we see your Flower Basket medallion quilt too...PLEASE!!!
EXCELLENT blogging too! I am SEW thrilled if this little blog has you guys stitching AND blogging. Wow!!!
Hi Jennifer, the more the merrier! How about that blue? It's gorgeous and your fabrics look fantastic on it. I can't wait to see this one grow. I love it.
ReplyDeletethis block is TERRIFIC!! LOVE the intense blue and the fabrics you selected are incredible.. can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteI love this block. I want a darker background too--I will start Flower Pots in the not-too-distant future. Your fabric choices are inspired--beautifully balanced. Thank you!
ReplyDeletelove the blue background...never would have thought that it would be a fabulous color for a background but it really works....
ReplyDeleteWow! That background really pops. It's going to fun to see this quilt come together.
ReplyDeleteWow Jennifer, out of this world!! this blue is gorgeous as the background. Cheers, Kim McL
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others..Wow! Isn't it vibrant on that gorgeous blue? Welcome to the blog Jennifer.
ReplyDeleteIt isnt just the blue background that is wonderful, the orange stem is fabulous. Cant wait to see more blocks
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Jennifer!!! I love your choice for the background!!

Thanks for the compliments. The blue background (which is actually more dark turquoise in real life)and the orange stems are both shot cottons from Reece Scannell. They are a bit more "silk" like than the Kaffe ones I think.

Yes, I bought those Reece Scannell fabrics from Material Obsessions, colours are great. Haven't done anything to it yet. I was going to do some quilts for my daughter's new apartment but haven't got on to it yet. Madam doesn't like florals!! Kim McL
