I didn't do as the Romans - I saw no crafting there at all but I guess I was looking in all the wrong places! So I just had to carry on by myself!
Here are some spools blocks which I hand stitched - sorry cannot remember which I had done before so this is all the ones from Rome and from my workshop....
Carolyn Forster had 81 in her quilt and I have now done 18 - only 63 to go then...?
Not sure if I have enough of these fabrics to do that many anyway - some of the lighter aquas I only had one fat 1/8th! The darker colours I have more of but would rather this had a brighter feel so I may be looking for more aqua solids - any suggestions?

My middle square fabric is Heather Moore - Cut Out & Keep - Avenues!
This is such a different look for me - in the use of solids and the colour scheme - it is quite an adventure! Think I will need to hold back on the dark mustard colour as it is quite dominant....but need more aqua remember!
They look great! Sorry, I can't help with aqua solids but I'm sure someone with a colour chart will be along soon...I'll check in my LQS tomorrow in case they have something suitable!
ReplyDeleteHow about some orange?
ReplyDeleteLovely ...........clever you ............xxxx
ReplyDeletereally? I kind of love that mustard!! ;)
ReplyDeletethey are looking like quite a lovely collection. That centre fabric is so nifty. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteRiley Blake makes a very pretty aqua-ish solid. I don't remember the name but I think it is in a line with spice in the name. I know I am so much help, aren't I? Sorry....been a bad day :(
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm very loving the aqua with mustard and the grey, very sophisticated! x
