So remember when I posted about how I bought this pattern and jumped on the bandwagon to make it up . . . Well, it has been a month and I haven't started a stitch. Mostly because I have been debating back and forth on what fabrics to use.
But the other day, I saw this little bundle sitting on my shelf and wondered . . .would it work???? These are the leftover I had from my Modern Solids Box. I used all of the bright colors for my Off Kilter quilt and was left with this lovely bundle of beautiful muted tones.
So now I am wondering, have I found the right bundle?? Is it time to start cutting?? What do you think??? Can I pull off a Modern Building Blocks Back to Nature edition??
I'd say go for it. Otherwise, you might be second guessing yourself forever and you'll never start the quilt. The fabrics are lovely - but I'm biased since I love blues.
ReplyDeleteI think you are good for the basics, but a little pop of red, orange and yellow would be great. You could probably use a few scraps for those little pops.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely you can do it! It would be fun to see it in the modern design too.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be great is the solids. Waiting to see it, soon I hope.

I do think it needs more pop. Maybe take the browns out and add more greens and grays with a splash of red or scarlet here and there.
ReplyDeleteI think those fabrics would be stunning in this pattern! Perhaps with pops of color still found in nature. Think: flower garden. :)
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics speak to me!
ReplyDeleteGo!!!
I think it would be great! I agree with the rest above though. Add a "pop" fabric in there and your golden. I'm starting my first HST sampler quilt and it's only my 3rd quilt ever so I'm a little nervous. Lol. I'm sure yours will be beautiful whatever you decide. Wish me luck! Lol
ReplyDeleteThis would be a wonderful quilt. To me it almost reads as a neutral quilt.
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics would make a beautiful, calm, low-volume quilt! I LOVE those fabrics together and can't wait to see them used in this quilt...just them!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it would be beautiful: there are enough darks and lights to give you the contrast you need, and it would be a calm and soothing quilt. Hugs, H
ReplyDeleteThose are really pretty colours. Somebody before commented to do little pops of colour and I agree. Yellow would be a good example.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be beautiful in those colors!
ReplyDeleteDo it!! You can always add more colours in if you feel it needs something as you go. I'd love to see how it looks
ReplyDeleteI love those colors; I think I'd add a little yellow and orange to set them off.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, use those colors! I can't wait to see it completed. And coincidentally, I received my Modern Building Blocks kit in the mail today. :-)
ReplyDeleteThose colors say back to nature to me, including the browns. I would think a little bit of accent colors could look wonderful. I'm partial to blues, though, so they all look good to me!
ReplyDeleteYes you can,yes you can! I think every thing you create is amazing.
ReplyDeleteyes Melissa you can do anything you set your mind to with your skill did think about this quilt but have decided no having seen the pattern not enough instructions for me to follow
ReplyDeleteI say let the thread run through your hair and start stitching away! Go for it! It may not look or seem to be something great now, but I bet you're going to create something MAGICAL! It's perfect colors for WINTER anyway. :o) I just bought this card earlier this week and can't wait to get started on it... next year though. LoL
ReplyDeleteI love the colors, but also think there needs to be a "pop" of color somehow. Those colors are so comforting. I love them.
