Then lay audition other fabrics for the next step. I keep going like that until the quilt is done. Most times I don't even know the size of the quilt until I am finished.Robin (RsIslandCrafts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06875986169322073281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415342804857434614.post-6616178272997765812011-08-20T10:18:19.307-04:002011-08-20T10:18:19.307-04:00Fun seeing your process.

I've never done the thing with the colored pencils, but its a great idea. I usually just make a complete and utter mess pulling out all my fabrics! I love how the red in the center is repeated in the pieced border. And I love the green (Kaffe?) you chose for the thin border. The only concern that I had: is the purple you selected for the star "purple" enough? Or does it have too much blue? Looks like its going to be beautiful-- I'll be watching to see how it evolves!Elisa Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04320037827105511594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415342804857434614.post-42477419811433075802011-08-20T07:11:05.869-04:002011-08-20T07:11:05.869-04:00What a great post - I love reading about the proce...What a great post - I love reading about the process other people go through to get to the finished quilt, it makes seeing the final 'ta dah' shot so much more interesting! I really like the fabrics you've chosen and the black batik background will allow the other fabrics shine. I tend to start with either a fabric to use as my inspiration (it doesn't always make the final cut but it's good to have a starting point) or I'll have a colour in mind and I'll find something that speaks to me. I find it hardest to choose when I haven't got either of those two and find myself wandering round my LQS/online with three or four piles of fabrics doing a mental 'eenie meenie minie moe'). Looking forward to seeing more of this project!Archie The Wonder Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16348256617269963755noreply@blogger.com
