I’m working on Country Cousin on the small design wall because most of the large wall is covered in Halo.
I enjoy having a quilt on the wall while I work on other
things, especially when it’s one that I can get lost in, and this is one of
those quilts. It’s a temperature of much of the lighter side of my stash at a
point in time and I have to say, I think I have a very nice stash. All of the
colours are playing so well together!
Its been great fun watching the circles fill in and
re-positioning colours until I think I have things just right – it still reminds
me of a table full of antique china plates and saucers.
I’m thinking that as it works to the outer edges the colours will fade away to soft mauve, light grey, white and cream. And then, as I sat back
and gained some perspective, it occurred to me that I could just leave it as it
is and make the rest of the pieces in different whites, ghosting the circular shapes of the pieces in the quilting design. I can’t decide. This approach might be more effective
for a wall quilt rather than one that I will use on my bed, and I think that I
have just about all of the coloured pieces that I need cut already. What to do,
what to do? Well, for the time being, sit back and enjoy it while I ponder my
options….M

love this quilt - the colors and the designs
I love the pattern and the fabrics. They really blend in well with each other. I wouldn't put too much white. As you have more colors use a bit more and then go to the white.
Love the vintage vibe.
I say stick with the colours! It's that kind of quilt.

Wow! I love the colours! I can’t imagine all the work those circles take, Marie ... beautiful!
simply spectacular, keep going with the colors is my humble opinion. Love it, what a labour of love. Lindianna xo
Giving you the golden thimble salute - what a fabulous palette of colors you are working with and that design must have hours of concentration all ready - well done!!
