I pulled a palette of aqua, orange and yellow along with white-based low volume prints with a lot of color in them. This is what I ended up with, for a baby quilt.
The blocks are small, 6", and the top finished at 36 by 42", so I'll be able to use one WOF for backing if I quilt it on my domestic machine. I have a lot of small to medium pieces of batting on hand, so I'm sure I have or can piece a batting of the right size. I was able to find peach flannel for the back in the club's stash - perfect! When finished, this quilt will eventually go to a young family at Luke Airforce Base.

I love this palette for a baby, and I'm pleased with how this top turned out.

What a great baby quilt! Love the splashes of color against the low volume background.
ReplyDeleteI think you nailed the challenge and created a great small quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job nailing the opal colors. It's just colorful enough to be interesting, but pale enough to be restful.
ReplyDeleteLove that sweet little quilt! Choosing an opal as your inspiration was a great idea, and I LOVE the finished quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fantastic quilt for a little one! It could even work as an "I Spy" type of quilt - finding matching colours or prints....
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic that you found a peach flannel for the backing, and I love it when a quilt will fit on a single WOF. Beautiful quilt top and I can clearly see the opal influence!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it!! great idea to have it fit on a WOF fabric!! and that sky - holee cow the blue!!
