Sunday Stash – Libs Elliott Weight of Love Colourway

February 28, 2016 by Shannon 2 Comments

March is just around the corner, and that means I’m that
much closer to attending the Libs Elliott Weight of Love workshop.  The countdown is officially on!!

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?!

The Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton Colour Chart was beyond
helpful for pulling this colourway together. 
Honestly, such a great investment J




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?
