I started to plan. I selected Kona turquoise and orange. I was only a little hesitant because I already have a orange and aqua quilt in the works and it'd be a bit redundant, but hey, I like orange and aqua. Then I got an email from fabricworm, and I saw this fabric bundle:
It felt at once both fresh and sophisticated, and yet very different from the color combinations that I usually see around blogland. I know purple isn't for everyone, but I liked it. :)
So I ordered my bundle and patiently waited. I printed out my paper piecing templates. I've decided to go in the order they are presented in the book rather than numerical order, since I didn't feel like searching around the book for each block. This meant that my first block was #26, Cut Glass Dish:
FWQAL Block #26 - Cut Glass Dish |
The second block was #53 - Kitchen Woodbox:
FWQAL Block #54 - Kitchen Woodbox |
This block was MUCH simpler and easy to assemble.
And here they are together:
FWQAL Week #1 |
The greens in these pictures still aren't quite right - hopefully I'll figure out how to get the color to show true soon. The greens are much close to what appears in the fabric bundle above.
2 blocks down, 108 to go!

Actually, I was telling my husband last week that I feel like there aren't enough GOOD purples in the fabric world. It's one of the reasons that I was so happy to see some purple prints beginning to show up online. :)
ReplyDeleteI love purple, and purple/green/blue combos are the best. In fact, I dobelieve I too have a purple/green/blue palette for FWQ :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks, I look forward to seeing more.
If you had put purple and green up as an option, I would have picked it! They are my favorite colors of all time and I love the combo! Your quilt is going to be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThere definitely aren't! I always assumed they just must not manufacture as many as a result of people being rather polarized on whether they like them or not. But maybe I'm wrong. :)

I'm glad you like it. ^_^ Now if only my husband felt the same. ;)

I most definitely would have put it up as an option if I had seen that bundle before I already posted the survey, but I figured people didn't want yet another round of voting, lol! I'm so glad you like it! ^_^
ReplyDeleteKelsey
I love your color combo! I am new to this and am wondering how
ReplyDeleteyou paper pieced the blocks-did you find it online and print the
paper piecing templates?
Maureen
If you have EQ 5, 6, or 7 you can print the paper piecing templates. Alternatively, you can find them in the Files section for this Yahoo group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/farmerswifesampler/
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! :)
Kelsey
Those are beautiful blocks - the fabrics go together perfectly!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! ^_^
ReplyDeleteKelsey
I like the color combo! Hope to start on my own blocks soon. Those little pieces can be murder, can't they?
ReplyDeleteYeah, all those little pieces took forever! And more than the time, it seemed a lot harder to match all the points on that tiny scale...
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see what you come up with once you start your own!!
<3 Kelsey
Hi Kelsey! Those fabrics look really wonderful! I would like to make a quilt with them! I feel that after quite much turquioise and orange that purple/lilach is really beautiful and exiting!
ReplyDeleteHappy sewing! Teje
Thanks so much!! ^_^
