It's been a while since I posted, I know. Part of it was burnout from the auction quilt. The other part was warm weather over the weekend. I have been working on a new class sample. It's a Terry Atkinson pattern called Lucky Stars. I'll be teaching it in a follow-up to my beginner class. I have to say, this pattern is one of the best written patterns I've used. It's very detailed and it's obvious that she's actually made the quilt (as opposed to writing a pattern straight out of EQ6 or the writer's brain). It's also very forgiving. Anyway, there will be scrappy rectangles surrounding each block. I'm hoping to have the sample done by later this week. The spring colors are fun, and it's unusual for me to use a white background (or any neutral, really). I'm just strange that way.

I am loving the white. :o) They look good.
ReplyDeleteI like it, very much, and the scrappy rectangles will add a little pizzaz, don't you think? The spring fabrics and colors are fresh, the perfect pick-me-up to a long winter. Super sweet.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about white. I can't imagine me making a quilt with a lot of white. But, I do like how it sets off a color fabric really well, especially something lighter. Very nice!
Very pretty blocks - love the colors! Can't wait to see it all put together.

I love the blocks. I like th pastel colors in it too. Very calm and relaxing. When is the class?
ReplyDeleteThanks! We haven't scheduled the class yet. I need to finish the sample first!
ReplyDeleteI think the white is what makes the colors show up so well. I just love those fabrics. They're different, yet cheery.
