Have you ever stumbled upon just the right project at the right time?
Lori at Humble Quilts has a quilt-along that is perfect for some scraps I've been trying to use up. I couldn't resist jumping in.

There are lots of projects that take 4-patch scraps. Nearly every one has two light and two dark blocks. What's left? All those not-quite-light enough and not-quite-dark enough colors. You know what I mean? Those scraps where the color is never just right? They get set aside every time. And I had a bunch of them.
Well, those sad, overlooked blocks have found a home in Palmateer Point. Twenty-five 4-patch blocks in soft almost-medium colors. My scrap bag is nearly empty. Ta-Da!
Here's the center portion all finished. It's so hard to decide on a border! The green keeps the soft antique look, but the blue gingham gives it a bit of a pop. Which is your favorite? Or something else entirely?
The Pink pulls the colors all together. I prefer the green border.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I kinda like the green the best :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I like the green border better.
ReplyDeleteGreat! I prefer the green, but you need to go with what you like!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I will be the dissenting vote. I agree that the green keeps the softer feel and is more "vintage", but the blue gives it a quirky, retro vibe that I really like. I am often the "odd man out", so you can ignore my vote. :)
