While I love Bonnie Hunter's Appalachian Autumn quilt enough to purchase the pattern, all the neutral backgound colors seem to not hold as much excitement as fall colors. I did see someone on her blog that used blues, so I tried light blues and dark blues. I have to decide whether to continue on. I would have to make the quilt rectangular as the square shape doesn't work as a cover. I also thought of combining green strings to make the leaves and have a transition from greens to oranges. Lots of thoughts, not so much action. I found the process making the blocks fun.
There are so many interruptions around here supervising the grandkids' remote learning.
Oh I LOVE this combination. Take your time - the idea of shifting from greens to oranges seems like it has great potential.
ReplyDeleteLove the light blues. It reminds me of leaves floating in water.
ReplyDeleteI bet your grandkids are the best students. I'm trying to cherish this extra time that I have with our son. It happened for a reason, so I rejoice on the path we are on.
I love the darker blues to turquoise background! An azure colored sky just says fall is here. I agree take your time and enjoy the process of simple sewing and color selection....you are doing good with it.
ReplyDeleteI love the richer blue shades on the right. It really pops the design.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of having various colors of leaves.
Autumn leaves floating in a clear blue sky? LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks have a lovely contrast with the orange and blue - VERY nice! - ;))
ReplyDeleteI think the blues look great with the fall colors.
ReplyDeleteOh those blues!! they remind me of the stunning skies that you see in fall - This is a great combination!!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of Bonnie's quilts but I've never been tempted to make one. But, I have to say, this one is my favorite and I love the blue for a backgreound.
ReplyDeleteI like those blues. I saw the quilt background you were talking about on Bonnie's blog. Great colors.
