I am making good progress on the quilt from the scrap strips.
I finished the blocks as I worked on the All Rolled Up Tote and was able to start setting them together. It turned out that I came up two blocks short. Fortunately, I had partial blocks made of strips, so I just finished them up and everything was fine.
I decided to use some Kona Cream for the background. After cutting it up, I thought some green would have been better, but I am sticking with my plan. I don’t want a bunch of rectangles laying around. Even with the Cream, which has a distinct yellow cast to it, I think the quilt will be suitable for a boy or a girl.
I really like this…trying to imagine it with green instead of cream alternate blocks…I like the clean, cheeriness of the cream.
You continue to inspire!
Thank you! I happened to have that cream, which has a yellow cast to it, and didn’t think I would use it for anything else, so there it went. The contrast is good and I agree it is a better choice than more green.
I think I also like the cream better than I would have liked a green. It seems more peaceful to me.
It also gives some contrast without being stark.
