Hello Quilt Friends!
Sunshine and rain here in the valley.
I've pieced together my chair blocks inspired by Debbie @aquilterstable.
I drew chair blocks on graph paper, experimenting with size, then finding sizes that looked good I got out my ruler and cut out chair pieces from fabric and pieced them together. After arranging the chair blocks I pieced them together with batiks and Kona cotton solids. The brown print is from my stash. That sunflower batik is gorgeous, I should have bought the whole bolt.
And in between piecing, pressing and arranging I have been reading a book by Anna Starmer Color Love,
it's from my local library and what an excellent inspiration it is! Anna's book shows great examples of color combinations and gives good explanations on pairing colors and using contrasts to make those combinations superb.
My head is full of color happiness!
What have you been doing for inspiration in your corner of the world?
I'll be by to visit.
Your chair quilt is STUNNING. The chair design is great in itself but especially teamed with the sunflower print. You are so good at modern design and so colour confident. No wonder you are drawn to books (and calendars) on colour. There is so much inspiration in that library book.

Love how your chair quilt is coming along!
ReplyDeleteThe chair blocks look very much at home on the sunflower fabric! Your library book looks exciting, nothing better than having a break and looking through a book like this one.
