Well, my Denyse Schmidt book came last week. Yippee!! I’ve been studying and dreaming about what I want to make. Barry really wants one just like the orange “Drunk Love in a Log Cabin” one, but orange generally isn’t my thing. My dad calls me an ‘Earth child’ which totally describes the colors I’m drawn to. Brown, green, gray, yellowish-brown, grayish-green… you know–brown and green.
I’ve been playing with color combos:
brown and green– with the color of dried wispy grass thrown in
dried wispy grass with live green grass, then some green and orange to spruce it up
now, I think this is my favorite– rust and light rust with green, grey, and muslin.
So, all you Denyse Schmidt quilt alongers, I’m declaring my decision. I’m doing “Drunk Love 2 Tone” in rusty-orangy for Barry, with a back pieced like “A Day at the Beach” in calming green, brown and muslin for me.
Now to find SOLID fabric. I’ve been looking… Any suggenstions?
Oooh! I love it! I’ve been keeping my eyes out for good solid colors (to get some inspiration from) and so far I’ve not been real impressed with what I’ve seen. I think that our JoAnn’s store has actually had the biggest selection that I’ve seen so far. Maybe some of the online stores will have better selections though.
