Pick-Your-Own Fabric

 

An Apple Pie Penny Patch Quilt!

 

 

I have been picking fabrics in the scrapatch today!

 

I am participating in the

Stitched in Color

 

 

Although I like to think I know a little bit about quilting,

I know have sew much more to learn.

In today's  Color Scheme Ideas installment

I feel like I have already learned some valuable

new tips for picking colors and fabrics.

 

 

My A&B Colors ~ Red and Green (Apples!)

My C  Color ~ Yellow (Sunshine!)

2 Medium Brown ~  (Piecrust!)

 

Here are my red and green and yellow fat quarters

with some of my low volume fabrics.

This is a very eclectic assortment of fabrics.

In addition to apple prints from three different lines,

there are classic Thimbleberries, a Kate Spain modern geometric,

two prim type sheep prints, some squiggly sewing theme scrips,

 a Riley Blake print, and a some other random stash fabrics.

I have added a touch of black for a bit more contrast ...

 

 

 

 Butterfly helped by adding the black and white to this quilt ... ;)
 

My low volume neutrals are grayish green and tan.

 

 I  picked through my stash ...   added and subtracted ...

arranged and rearranged ... switched fabrics in and out ...

 

 

This is what I have right now ... I like!

 

When I have finalized my choices I will cut fat quarters

from the yardage so I start with the 30 FQs called for to

make the twin size quilt.

 

 

Mmmmmmm ... I love apple pie!

(I just may have to bake an apple pie now.)

 

Hope you are having a fun day in your fabric patch, too.

 

Tomorrow I am planning to enjoy the quilts at a nearby quilt guild show from the Tewksbury Piecemakers. 

These quilters always put on a good show.

 

May you have a happy quilty weekend, too!
