As I buy Christmas gifts for friends and family, I also manage to buy myself a few quilty things! I plan on making this quilt sometime next year. Part of the fun for me is finding all the fabric I'll need to make a specific project. I always try to find it on sale somewhere. I always feel better if I don't pay full price!
Each block uses 2 sets of fabrics. As you can see, one set is a little lighter than the other. I don't buy solids too often but I really love the way these colors look all together.
Each block also needs a light (white), medium (gray) and dark (black). That's what I have left to buy.
I'll have to see where I can get it at a great price!
I'm still wrapping gifts. I'm hoping to finish them up tomorrow. I want to be completely done with everything so I can sit back and enjoy the holiday. Hope you're all finishing up too!
That is such a great looking pattern. It will be fun to see your progress.
ReplyDeleteHaven't wrapped a thing yet over here....
Might take awhile to get this one going! Just finished wrapping today. I keep thinking I forgot something. Hope I figure it out!
DeleteMerry Christmas to you indeed! Have fun & enjoy the celebration 😊

Same to you, Gilly! Hope you have a great holiday!
DeleteMerry Christmas!! Fascinating pattern......a bit of a kaleidoscope feel. I, too, don't generally go the solid route but those choices should be the perfect ones for this pattern. I look forward to your future progress on this one!!!!!!
