Awhile ago a friend passed this floral fabric along to me. Not her taste, but she knows me well, I love it! Coral is my favorite color, and combined with olive greens, it's feminine without being overly sweet.
I found a coral tone-on-tone in my stash, and a coral stripe to use for binding. My friend also passed along some large cuts of flannel for donation quilt backings. This mottled green one harmonizes with the print.
I'm thinking of making a variation of one of the quilts in my book Cut and Shuffle Quilts, a baby quilt. My plan is to use the print for the background, coral in the four corner blocks and find another color, maybe a soft green, for the rest of the blocks.
Cut and Shuffle Quilts is out of print. The quilts in the book all start with a parent block, the Block Mama, which is a framed square. Later it will be cut up and the parts will be shuffled and rearranged to create a new pieced block.
I found a soft green in my stash that harmonizes with the coral print. Here are the Block Mamas for this project.
Now that I have a plan, I can cut up the Block Mamas, reassemble the blocks, and enjoy working with these colors.

It looks like you will have a productive week! Those colors should pop against that lovely background! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteNice color combo (is that any surprise from you?). That reminds me, I have not finished my C&S quilt yet. Maybe I'll adapt it to a baby quilt for Jack's basket.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors and that floral fabric!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet combo of fabrics! This will be a great baby quilt :)
