Trip To The Quilt Shop

Last week, I showed you this quilt, "Pattern Play" by Pat Bravo, from the latest issue of American Patchwork & Quilting magazine.

 
My enthusiasm for this design is still with me so on Saturday, I drove to my LQS (Pennington Quilt Works) to see what they had in the way of solids.  A nice little supply came home with me but this is just a start on what I need for the project.  The grays are Kona Medium Gray on the left and Kona Coal on the right. 


So after I got home I made a little trip to the internet and ordered up 12 more colors!  I hope they all go together; color is such a dicey thing with internet images.  But I used the colors from the Kona Sunset collection as a guide so I am hopeful.  When I am to a good place to pause on the Double Wedding Ring project, I'm going to start of my own "Pattern Play."

  1. Solids are certainly making a come back. Your new project will be fun to watch. The colors you've choose so far are lovely.

  2. I love the colors so far! It can be frustrating choosing colors off the computer. I think that is why the precuts/lines are so popular!

  3. If you have a Joann's Fabric close, they carry Kona, and have a goot price, 7.99 then you can get use the coupon too.
    Colors are very nice, some blue might look good with those green's.
