WIP Wednesday – Doin’ a Solid
There’s quite a bit of backstory about the inspiration for this new quilt project. So much so, that I’m still flushing it all out through my brain. It began with a new and surprising benefactor, continued with feelings of indecision and unoriginality, and is (so far) concluding with a double rainbow I saw through grey storm clouds.
I will endeavour to detail more of its origins as I proceed. I find I really need to listen to the fabric to find out what it wants to say, and ultimately “be” to me. For now though, I’m enjoying this really simple sewing, and engaging colour play. This is my first all solids quilt, and it already feels like I’m in a new, swanky martini lounge that I’d like to hang out in for a while!
You've got some of my favourite colour combinations in there already. Looking forward to seeing more.
They seem to be playing nicely together and like Paula I want to see more and oh, hear about that back story. Just call me greedy 🙂
I love your colour combinations and hope those rainbows keep glowing for you x
So far, so excellent.
Love solids! Looking forward to seeing what those blocks become!
I ga-vomited a little over this one…I've had kids…I know what "doing a solid" means! 🙂 Thanks for the giggle…as always!
Also~this from Fons' backs up your "we are sew worth it" argument (?)
Love it and am looking forward to see more of this. Seeing lilac and teal together is giving me feelings I didn't expect, I mean, ideas, geiving me ideas. 😉
Love the solids!
It's noice, it's dufferent, it's unuooshual…. Can't wait to see the final peice because like most things you do, it is the finished article that sings the loudest…
Keep listening to the fabric – always works. I wish it sometimes said swanky martini lounge to me!
I am loving where this is going. The simple squares with all of those great fabric combinations will look wonderful in a quilt.
Love the start so far. Those colors are very fun and inviting to hand out with for a while. Keep listening and drinking martini's, it will start speaking to you 🙂
