Welp, I went and did it. I started my first quilt. Eva kindly suggested I start with something relatively simple (i.e. squares) and generously loaned me a book. I picked the nine patch quilt to make for my guest bedroom.
It will eventually be about 60"X60". I am making it slightly smaller than what the pattern calls for because it will be an extra blanket on a full size bed. I also haven't cut the triangles to go around the sides.
I have a question for you all though. Do you think I need to add another goldish color that is between the light gold and the medium golds? I had one in my hands and then put it back. Now I am thinking I need it.
Thanks in advance for the suggestions!
Yay Sascha!!! It's absolutely beautiful! I really like that you've turned the squares on a diagonal. Congrats on losing your quilt virginity :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think you need another yellow...but what do I know?!
Ooh looks great!! I also don't think you need another yellow but if you want one just go for it. Depends on the yellow/blue ratio you want eventually. I can't believe how fast it is coming along!
ReplyDeleteThis looks sooo good!!! Perhaps you've finally given me the courage to start cutting the fabric for my quilt?!?! eeks!
ReplyDeleteI like the ratio as is :)
Good luck with it - can't wait to see more photos!!
Thanks for the advice gals. I am glad you said No to the extra yellow because the more I thought about it, the more I didn't want it. :) Hopefully I'll get to sewing more on it this week.
ReplyDeleteThis looks incredible! I'm hopeless with anything crafty so I am very impressed - especially since it's your first attempt at a quilt. Yup..you're one clever lady!
