Mix & match -
Can be fun sometimes if I don't have a set plan - ;))
For my next project -
I thought that I would make another Quarter Log Cabin Quilt -
Like the big blue/green one that I sent to Frog Quilter - HERE -
Only this time - the shorter "Lap" version - 64" x 64" -
It's a FREE Pattern - from Jelly Roll Fabric - dot - net - HERE -
When you sign up for her email - you get access to her FREE patterns - AND get email notifications of her daily specials/sales - which is where I got these jelly rolls ON SALE one day -
Benartex Urban Oasis - 10 fabrics - 20 strips -
and Cloud 9 Organic Fabrics - Typography - 20 strips -
Anyway - I decided to "mix and match" these two so they're not as matchey-matchey as they would be if they were both the same brand/fabric/roll -
But I need 57 total strips - so I found another roll of 20 GREEN - and it should work to help tie all of the colors together - I hope - ;))
I split them into piles of "main" and "contrast" - according to the pattern -
The pile of really dark ones on the left will be used for the last row on each block -
The rest of them were then paired up for the strip sets -
We'll see how far I get with this tomorrow after I do my chores - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
From the looks of the last photo, the green is going to work well. Can't wait to see...
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jeanna, it does look like the green really works well with these strips.
