Inspired by the color scheme on this shopping bag,
I set to work on an improv quilt.
I used inspiration from a this quilt, which I made for my son just over a year ago.
This time,however, I did not use a ruler to cut the strips. Just my rotary cutter.
This resulted in a much more organic collection of strips.
As with my son's quilt, I made 3 blocks per row, using about 15 strips per block.
I added a little twist to one row...
and another...
For the back of the quilt, I'm thinking of using just the hot pink. The question that remains is: what color thread should I use?
I made a sample and tested some pink thread.
And then tested a soft gray:
This is what it looks like in the back:
Which color thread do you vote for?
Nice quilt top. I love the little touch of pink in the piecing. Maybe grey and a little touch of pink in the quilting too.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely stunning! i like combo of grey and pink. can't wait to see it when you are finished!
ReplyDeleteFun quilt! If I were picking the thread I'd choose the grey, leaving just that pop of bright pink with the fabric you have incorporated so nicely into the quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I vote for the grey thread to keep just those pops of pink.
ReplyDeletegrey thread for the front and pink in the bobbin for the back! This is a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteI actually like the idea of using both colours....fabulous quilt.
