Beautiful colors Sewbiz

Sewbiz, those colors are gorgeous!

I’m still dithering over colors because I don’t have enough in the way of browns to come close to what’s needed. So my choices are to a. Buy some or b. Use dark darks in another color way.

Option A would be easiest since I have lots of things in the blue to teal range and also in the melon to orange range, and plenty of neutrals.

Option B appeals to me because I do enjoy a challenge and I would really like to try doing this without actually purchasing any fabric at all. I’ve got plenty of dark darks....hmmm they are mainly cool darks, not warm darks like Bonnie’s browns...

My browns are really maroons with a brownish hint.

I went with dark grays - but also brightened up the aquas and went much more orange than coral.

Here are mine for clue #2. I'll work on trimming them up during the week.



Got the the alternates cut and ready to sew - need to change out the white thread first.

Great colors everyone. Sewbiz, cheddar and blue bestill my heart, I love the drama of blue / cheddar combo, ube your 9 patch colors are calm but sparkle

alva, it always depends on the size of the print. Your fabric print is small enough to be able to use this as salmon, absolutely. The images are much smaller than I thought they would be with just the fabric, nothing for perspective. Way cute!

I got my strips cut yesterday, when I leave here I'll go up and start stitching. Exciting!
I remember one mystery (cotton boll?) where the clue was "make 700 half square triangles", 2" finished. I'm glad I kept up the courage to keep making them, they were what make the quilt move and dance.
Our geese will too, I'll bet on it

sewbizgirl, you caught up in a hurry! Those are beautiful!

peaceandjoy, I'm so sorry you had to take all of those apart! It is so easy to make an error without a visual reference. I am also coming to appreciate the charm of small-piece quilts as I do more Bonnie mysteries.

Macybaby, I love your coral selection

ube quilting, your soft aquas are beautiful.

I spent yesterday cutting neutrals, and hope to finish the coral cutting today, and get sewing!

The 99's are cute, but they are a solid, heavy machine. My 1955 99k in the cabinet has the other set of decals, with the eye and rectangular outside design. I also have a featherweight and a 301, and for a portable machine they are much easier to handle. One of the really cool things is that the feed dogs drop on the 301. There are rumors that Westalee is making a slant ruler foot and I am looking forward to that. I just do love my Singers, I know there are other manufacturers out there, but for some reason these old Singer machines really appeal to me.
