Got around to digging in my stash to select the colors for my version of Bonnie Hunter's Sew-In-Place Unity Quilt. Getting the fabric to show up correctly in pictures has been a pain. I tried a couple of combinations of light source, time of day, etc. both inside and outside. This is the best it's going to get - taken this morning outside in the cold Spring morning light.

I decided to go with a monochromatic color scheme. Do I have all the yardage amounts recommended in my colors?

Probably not but I may only make this lap size quilt or I can find different fabric in the stash or I can change the colors with each border I add. Bottom line - it will happen the way it happens.
No Stress Here!
Speaking of stress, I needed to iron the fabric and someone in my Studio HATES the ironing board. Odie loathes the sound the iron board makes when it's unfolded. I get that - he has very sensitive hearing. So rather than send him running just as he settled down for a snooze, I opted to iron the fabrics atop a towel on my sewing table.
Totally hi-tech here. LOL!! On to Cutting, next...

Nice colors!! That's going to be gorgeous. No matter what size it ends up!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the monochromatic colour scheme. I'm glad you saved poor Odie the sound of the ironing board. I hate that noise too, and solve it by just leaving mine set up about 99% of the time. Have to fold it up when we have visitors, but that won't be a problem for a while.
