New Project

The really, really, really hot weather reached the east coast today.  Ouch.  It's a good time to stay inside and quilt so I am starting a new project.  Inspired by some recent blogs showing two color quilts, particularly blue and white, I decided I wanted to make one.  Temecula Quilt Co. has several two color quilts on their blog.  Taryn made a very pretty blue and white Ohio star a while ago.  The design I picked will remain a surprise until next time.   I picked out some antique fabrics to use, 3 or 4 white shirtings and 2 indigos.
I love blue and white but as I was picking out these fabrics I thought "what would the PA German quilter do if she she wanted to recreate a blue and white quilt she saw?"  Certainly it wouldn't be blue and white.  I picked out some more fabrics to make a second quilt, same pattern, much different color choice.  It should be fun.

  8. Ann, I love your fabric choices! You know how I am when it comes to two-color quilts, LOL. Just picked up a book on two-color quilts. One side is red & white. Flip the book and the other side is blue & white. About 22 patterns (11 each) in all. Can't wait to get started.

  10. Both sets of fabric look great - I look forward to seeing how the two quilts come out. (And I'm wondering how impossibly small these will be...)
