2 YEARS AGO.
There are two issues with this project:
1. I sometimes get tripped up on a blank canvas kind of project. When someone says - hey, I want you to make a quilt for me and it's your choice of pattern and colors - I freeze a little. It doesn't happen all the time but often enough that I had to acknowledge it.
2. When I asked my friend what she wanted, she said aquas and purples....... {crickets, crickets} Crap. Aqua? And purple? Like, together? Yeah, she says. Um - not feeling it so much.
But I grabbed a Jennifer Paganelli FQ bundle from Sewn Studio a few weeks ago and found some remnants at the Fabric Shack last week, I think I have the beginnings of this project. The purple isn't really purple, but more of a purply-fuschia. And my friend is a romantic, so the florals will suit her very well. This palette needs some tweaking, but I'm onto something here.
Maybe needs a pop of grassy green? (says the girl who would rank green among her least favorite colors) You could also throw in some amethyst...
ReplyDeleteYes-green would be a nice addition. I like it.
DeleteLove the palette and you could get away with a deep purple or purplely blue.
ReplyDeleteI like it. If your friend doesn't make you could shoot it my way! Just kidding, I bet she loves whatever you do, you do everything so well!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the progression of this one!
That was supposed to be *MAYBE*
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe I should learn to type!
I won a fq bundle of that collection of Jennifer's fabrics. I've used a couple prints in a bee block, but otherwise, they're a little over-the-top, floral-wise, for me. I can appreciate the color challenge you're facing with them. But on the other hand, I am absolutely certain you'll rise to it and make something really smashing. Can't wait to see how great it is! (No pressure, of course!)
ReplyDeleteYep - I agree with the green needing to be added. Love the colourway - and I'm not a purple or aqua person either!
ReplyDeleteYou are off to a good start there. I totally understand the freezing thing - sometimes there are too many options!
ReplyDeleteYou describe your friend as a romantic - maybe the addition of some softer colors would help you "feel" where you're going a bit. Just a thought :) Good luck!
