“What happened to the projects I was quilting?” I hear you ask… I am currently unpicking the quilting in the tumblers quilt as messed up a bit in the preparation (more haste, less speed is sage advice still)…
And my monkey wrench quilts are stalled currently too while I work out techniques to quilt them as I want them to be… I may even take them apart and quilt each block just to make it easier on my machine.
Which brings me to the contents of this photo collage…
I absolutely love my Tula Pink fabric collections… the colours, the prints, the way the collections can be combined as they use colours that will coordinate and compliment each other… it’s like a group of friends with their different styles and personalities who support each other through their low points and celebrate their highest achievements.
I decided to rough cut 10 inch squares from the larger prints to give me room to adjust fabric for the hexagons, and 6 inch squares from the smaller prints for the equilateral triangles.
I have more than enough for the hexagons I need and as I arrange my colour order I will decide on which fabrics I will cut more triangles from.
This quilt will be very much designed as I make it. I will decide if I surround each hexagon with a “blending” or “opposing” colour depending upon how it pleases my eyes with the colour placements.
If I use “opposing” colours I can emphasise the “stars”…
But blending the colours will mean I can make a pleasing colour wash effect.
Since I will be concentrating on colour placement there could end up being some interesting print combinations as the above collage demonstrates…
Are you surprised to learn the fabric with prominent pink kittens reads in the blue/green range to me?
Until next time I’ll be cranking hexagons and triangles through my AccuQuilt die cutting machine.
