When I received the Weight of Love pattern, I realized I
would need to find 17 different fabrics to tackle this quilt design. 17! My
initial visual was to use a gradient of light peach through dark corals. But after some thought
and looking at the pattern, I was concerned there wouldn't be enough contrast. So my next instinct was to add a pop of turquoise. I then scrapped that entire idea and started incorporating bold fuchsias, turquoise, dark grey and purples. I had several lists going of potential colour combinations – occupational hazard for any quilter I'm sure!

After lots of deliberation, I finally decided to follow my
gut and go with a range of peaches and corals paired with blues and
turquoises. Your guts never wrong,
right?!
I just need to swing by and pick-up my Hex-N-More ruler from
Craft de Ville and then I will be all set to complete my prep for my March 19
course (happy dance!!).
What’s new in your fabric stash this fine snowy Sunday?
