So I am teaching my Charming Baby Quilts Sampler as a Block of the Month for our local quilt guild, here in Cedar City ;) Which means, I need to make some samples along the way to teach. So that equals a new Charming Baby Quilts Sampler!!! Now, I just need to decide on the fabric. It's always our favorite part right, so many fabrics, so little time :) I know I want to make one with a dark background so . . . .
I started with the idea of a Navy Background and then picking some Stashed Charm Packs that all had navy in them. I would not use the navy prints for the piecing, and then get a whole bunch of happy and bright colors that all tie into the Navy. So that is Option 1.
But then I remembered this awesome
Royal Quilt that I made a while back, and realized I have 2
Luster Jolly Bars and a
Charm Pack that would just look awesome on my favorite purple backing. I have been wanting to make another purple background quilt for a while, and this just might be it. So that is Option 2.
But then, I thought, don't forget Low Volumes. I just finished a little secret sewing with
Fancy That Design House's new
Slow Stroll and had a bunch of low volumes left from it and if I paired that with her low volumes from her first line
Songbook, it could be oh so pretty!!! And on a
Lead Grunge Background, love!! So that is Option 3.
And of course . . . I can't decide which I like best. So could you help a friend out :) What is your favorite . . . . Option 1 Scrappy and Happy, Option 2 Purple and Striking , or Option 3 Low Volume Grunge Goodness. Comment below ;)
And would any of you like to sew along with me just in case you missed the first Quilt Along?? All you need is a copy of my Charming Baby Quilts Book, and these Free PDF downloads for the quilt along cutting instructions ;)
