The next quilt
>> Sunday, September 14, 2008
I know this doesn't look like quilt preparation but I've been thinking a lot about my next quilt. I've decided on the pattern but I think I will show you that later. But first of all, the colour scheme was inspired by this little vignette in our living room.
As you may know I like monochromatic colour schemes, but sometimes even I get bored of it. But it's definitely not going to be some madcap multi-coloured extravaganza. Maybe someday...
I also just spent the evening sorting through my quilt scraps. Which is a small white vintage train suitcase filled with little pieces of fabric that I've saved up especially for quilting. They're either flea market bundles of quilt pieces I've bought, bits I've picked up at fabric swaps or leftovers from other projects.
I organized all of them by colour so I could see how much I had. So now I'm thinking the colours will be orange: And purple:With some yellows and pinks thrown in. Oh! and white.
It's a bit odd because lately I've been loving green. I guess that will have to be the next one...

hi i found you through karyn's site!
i was wondering, did you buy the pretty drawers like that? or did you cover it with pretty paper yourself? let me know! i have something similar from ikea and the natural color is quite uninspiring.
Thank you!
This is my post about what I did with the IKEA box:
