Fabrics chosen
As I am only starting in 2011, January, nothing is sure. But one thing is: I am doing this wonderful quilt on black. I love the way colours 'pop' on black. Here is a picture of the fabrics I am going to work with. I might add something, I might skip something, but probably this is it!
Looks like some lovely colors--I'm looking forward to seeing your blocks!
ReplyDeleteThe colors do pop. Make sure you have excellent lighting when working on this black.
ReplyDeleteI love the way your colors look against the black. I look forward to seeing your progress. Be sure to post when you get going on it? :)
ReplyDeleteHow are you going to trace the pattern onto the black?
ReplyDeleteooooooo aaaaa just love the fabric colors.
ReplyDeleteMimi, I think I'm going to work with freezer paper on the fabrics and then compose the pattern on the black fabric. I suppose I know the measure of each individual block.
ReplyDeleteFabulous choices, Joke! Are you going to stitch up Kim's Roseville Album design? I too am using a black background. I haven't had any trouble seeing on the black. And, I use an overlay for pattern piece placement. I can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteI'm so looking forward to seeing the first block. You have some lovely colours and it's going to look amazing on black.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great idea! I like black as a background, but never thought of it with this quilt. I can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeletewelcome to the party!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for you to start, it is going to be a wonderful journey and you're going to love working with those beautiful fabrics
ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful.fun blog. I bought the lollipops tree pattern but have yet to start it. I would have to do it by machine though.
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested to see these! (Mine is The Garden on the white on black dots - I love black as a background!) The Garden really doesn't need a lot of fussy placement. I usually just iron my block into 4th's, and use that as a guide to setting the pieces. Sometimes I baste those creases if I'm going to handle the block a lot (I am machine appliqueing. One thing I love about this quilt is that it isn't really fussy about placement since it has a folksy feel.
ReplyDeleteLovely fabrics Joke! Are you sure you're not starting this quilt soon? Not even getting the templates done? Look forward to your first block. Kim McL
ReplyDeleteLove the black background and fabric choices.
