In what can only be described as a moment of utter lunacy I signed up for my sister Nicole’s two color quilt challenge. Maybe I misread the guidelines but I’m pretty sure I read that the finished quilts were to be unveiled on August 1st. I just didn’t realize that meant THIS YEAR.
I better pick up the pace. We are supposed to post our progress on the first day of each month so I have just under two weeks to do what? Does pulling the fabric out and piling up on my dining room table count as progress?
I’ve decided to do a pale blue and cream two color quilt. I think I may take out the fabrics with a lot of coral in them – I’ll wait and see how it’s shaping up when I get the pieces cut out and a block made.
And for full disclosure I will be making a quilted tabletopper – not a full sized quilt. My attention span can only handle crib sized quilts and tabletoppers.
I love that Acorn Quilt pattern. I hope it’s not too ambitious for me.
This fabric has been curing for a couple of years now. I’m going to have to try to find a few more fat quarters of pale blue fabrics to round it out a bit more.
I love that pattern, Andrea. It’s going to be soft and beautiful in the colors you have chosen. Too ambitious, nah! I say go for it!
I love the blues you picked, very pretty. Can’t wait to see it.
What a lovely blog! I am not a quilter, but I love color, and your banner is lovely! Roxanne
Andrea, the colours are beautiful, I felt more calm just loking at them. Quilting has a certain mysticism for me. I love those big ones that you could just snuggle up under but I don’t think I’d have enough ‘stick-with-it-ness’ to do one from start to finish – they always seem so complex to me, but alas I’ve promised myself that I will try one! Looking forward to seeing how your’s unfolds.
Hugs,

Those colors are beautiful… your quilt will be mellow and serene.

I love your color choice and pattern you picked. It is going to be a pretty quilt.
i love that pattern too! and those colors are so soft and beautiful. i look forward to seeing this develop!
You are going to LOVE this when you get it finished. And yes, you will finish it this year! I will bring lots of light blues for you to consider adding in when I see you next.
