...and then the borders on this Disappearing 9 Patch class sample.

| The purple border looks like a strip in this photo - hadn't noticed in person. Cool! |
As an option to the sample, I'll be making hexies to place at the intersections with the large purple squares. Obviously I won't be using the fabrics below but I already had this rosette done for another project and it worked for the photo. It also showed me that the hexies will need to be really light or dark to contrast with the purple fabric.
The back 3 fabrics below are scraps from the quilt and the front 2 FQs are new fabrics I thought could work for the hexies. Now I'm not so sure there is enough contrast in the dark purples. I intend to piece the hexies so maybe I can still use these fabrics but add in more lights or maybe even some black somewhere.
Tonight I have to do the housework I successfully avoided all weekend...ughhh...
PS - I almost forgot to remind all y'all to come back tomorrow for The Biblipphile Files and let us know what you're reading!!
Your Monday sounds suspiciously like mine... Good job Zorro!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely - good job Zorro indeed. Oh, I do like that purple floral!
ReplyDeleteThere may be hope for your new QCO! Never would have dreamed!
ReplyDeleteI love anything you put purple in, and that is a beautiful floral. I will be interested to see how you resolve the contrast issue on the hexies.
Your quilt is looking great, it is always nice to have help with your quilts!
ReplyDeleteI definitely like the optional hexies! Adds a nice *pop* of color!! Z is turning into quite a good QCO, isn't he?!? :)
ReplyDeleteHexies make everything better : )
ReplyDeletelove disappearing nine patch quilts. Will be good to see how you use the hexie and what fabric you finally choose. trust housework got done or did the needle distract you!my needle is very good at distracting.
