Middling Along
I'm back in the middle of Rose Boll this week. Aren't these fabrics gorgeous? I just love them! Click any photo to see them all full sized.
I have to say, it is already looking better than I dared to dream. When I bought the fabric last fall, I admit I felt some guilt about it. Couldn't I have made do with what I had?
Now I have no doubt that it was the right call to buy all the extra reds. The deep reds are needed to hold their own with all the florals.
And, I certainly didn't want to skimp on florals!
The mix of prints is so much fun. This time the pictures really do not do it justice.
Anyway, the middles are all done. The sawtooth edges are next!

ReplyDeleteOh, yes, those red florals are too beautiful. Great choice to buy them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love those deep reds! A good decision on your part for sure!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabric and blocks.
ReplyDeleteLovely red blocks! I'm kinda partial to 'red' at the moment!
ReplyDeleteso many pretty fabrics here, like that by clicking we get a bigger photo, does that happen on all blogs or have you got somethng special going on there
ReplyDeleteThey are delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I can see that we have similar tastes, because I love everything you make! As a former Californian who once attended the Rose Bowl Parade (I was born in Pasadena, CA), I am particularly "bowled over" by these gorgeous blocks!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful colors. I have a similar coral orange with red berries printed on it. Just need more reds as you point out. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYum! Worth every penny. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, once you put those fabrics in your stash and waited a bit, you *were* using fabrics you already had. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it)
ReplyDeleteThose reds were the perfect choice! Money well spent!
ReplyDeleteThey are certainly fabulous florals and brilliant in combination. It's going to be a beauty!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jillian! As I said, it's even better than I hoped!
ReplyDeleteYou really are an amazing print and pattern lady; you make every quilt top happen in a beautifully balanced, exciting colourway. You are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Prints are my favourites, so that helps. To me, it's endlessly interesting to combine patterns and see what happens. You can never predict it exactly!
DeleteI agree, these are beautiful fabrics, you're going to have a lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteYour purchased red fabric was perfect for this project. Those sawtooth edges are going to make this project sing!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look great!
