For the last couple of days I have been working on a new quilt project.
As you can see it involves large half square triangles and stripes. Lots and lots of stripes. I love this fabric, it is one of my favorites. It is made is by Robert Kaufman, in his Pimatex Basic line, This particular print is called Chocolate, and I think it is perfect for a little baby boy quilt.
I am still working on the layout. I am not quite sure if I want the design going down the middle or if I want it off centered a bit. In my mind there are more white blocks on either side of the layout shown.
What do you think? Minimize the open white space or maximize it?

This is a basic block, nothing new, just 2 HST's sewn together, but I had to cut and piece them differently than I would have normally cut and pieced a HST block. It was important for the design of the quilt that the stripe in the fabric stay straight and go in a certain direction.
I love that this quilt is all about fabric and layout. Nothing fancy just quilting in its most simplistic form.
I love quilts like this made from stripes and the blues and browns are perfect! Every time I see cool striped fabric I have to stop myself from buying it because goodness knows I have enough projects.
ReplyDeleteI would have it off center a bit I think but it is hard to tell without seeing it. Maybe I will have to fly out for a visit? :)
