Part I & the Sew & Tell party are HERE...
Part II::
After I pulled my main fabrics... and tried to sprinkle in a few colors of pop or "confetti". The confetti colors were based on some of the scrappy fabrics I had pulled... I wanted to include yellow, purple and orange. I then started to layout on the design wall...

| Those orange blocks were disruptive and HAD to go... |
After pulling the orange out, everyone was content with those that joined the confetti party. As I pieced the blocks together, I added in the sashing strips and cornerstones. It asked for a border, so I obliged...
It also asked for a pieced backing... again, I obliged. :)
I will be quilting it with an all-over grid on point.
Round#2 of guests, (Dave's sister) left this morning. We had to make an urgent visit to my cousin's cabin after seeing/hearing of large hail causing damage not far from where the family cabin is. Thankfully, there was no damage, aside from pine needles knocked from the pine trees.
Barring any other interruptions... check back with me for the finish of this quilt by the end of the week.
Keep Piecing,
Melva

Love the direction this one is headed!
ReplyDeleteI do love that block! Your aqua version is just beautiful. I'm glad you are "listening" to the wants of your quilt. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love orange paired with turquoise, but you were so right to pull it out of this mixture! The resulting quilt design is cool and refreshing. I'm always so impressed with how quickly you put these scrappy quilts together! Glad there was no hail damage to the cabin. We finally got rain here in N. Colorado after a good several weeks with nothing.
ReplyDeleteThese all play so nice together, definitely a good decision to put the orange ones in time out;)
ReplyDeleteThis was a time that the orange didn't not play well with the aqua. . .who would have that? Good for you to pull it. The resulting top feels calm! --TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteSprinkles of confetti always liven up a party! Love your new quilt, Melva. Looking forward to seeing it quilted.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how removing those few spots of orange made everything just come together! Great job. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
