Project Simplify - Day 26
June 6, 2011 Chapter Five - The halfway mark!
I really like this quilt - Spot On.
Remember Donnie & Marie Osmond's hit "A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock & Roll?" This quilt - to me - is a little bit traditional, a little bit modern. The large graphic circles strike me as contemporary, but the sashing & on-point set of the blocks reads traditional. I think you could tip the balance either way with the fabric selection.
I'm going traditional with this fabric collection from a few years ago by 3 Sisters for Moda called Roman Holiday. I'm a sucker for a good Christmas fabric line and 3 Sisters - more often than not - has me at "Hello". ;)
I made this quilt by Bunny Hill a few years ago for the shop and most of the fabric was from this collection. It was so pretty I had to buy the FQ bundle (plus yardage, of course) for myself.
I also made this little wall hanging (my own design) a few years ago. I hang it over my kitchen sink at Christmas time. Kinda cute, no?
Hmmm, what a surprise ... it's cross-hatched.

It is most certainly not "kinda cute"... it is SUPER cute! :)
The little wallhanging is definitely cute! I like the spotty quilt - look forward to seeing it!
I am anxiously awaiting your next post about this new quilt, it is my favorite design in this book :)
But hey... cross hatching something like that would make me nervous. My seems *never* line up. I'd rather do something random to hide my imperfections!
I began a quilting class with this line, Roman Holliday, and love this fabric and especially love the movie! I look forward to your quilt and hopefully someday will finish my quilt.
Very, very cute gingerbread man. I, too, love 3 Sisters....their fabric is just so beautiful! I still have a tiny bit of Roman Holiday fabric that I'm hoarding because...because...because I can't let it all go. ;0
You're too funny! Super cute little gingerbread man -- love those fabrics. Can't wait to see the Simplify quilt!
