I want to make this.
Sigh. I love it. Here's my dilemma. I have been collecting pinks and oranges for a pink and orange quilt for myself. But I love the bright and happiness of this scrappy look. Now, scrappy is not "me" but then if they were MY scraps, it WOULD be "me" right??
So do I make a pink and orange version or a fun scrappy version (using some of those pinks and oranges that I've been collecting)? This is going to be a "when I'm bored with other projects, I'll work on this one" kind of project. No rush. No hurry.
What do you think?
Enjoy your day!

Pink and orange go really well together. If that's what you've been dreaming of, go for it! Four days of travel next week? Be sure to take your camera - you might come across some really nice Christmas decorations we would all love to see.
ReplyDeleteHave a safe trip.
That is a beautiful quilt, I don't blame you one bit! That's a good idea, just work on it in between other things. Sorry about traveling for work, but at least you get to stay in a hotel (I LOVE that part)!
ReplyDeleteIf you've been collecting different pinks and oranges along the way, then it will probably turn into a scrappy pink and orange quilt that you will love forever! :)
ReplyDeleteI think it would look awesome in pink and orange! Will you do them all mixed together or do some blocks with pinks in the center and oranges on the border of the block and some with orange in the center and pink in the outside? Either way would look awesome!
ReplyDeleteI agree, go with the pink and orange. It will be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGo with the pink and orange! Would be super cute!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful quilt! I think it would look great either way! And if you've been saving up for a pink and orange quilt, this might be just the one to use that fabric on! On the other hand...I LOVE scrappy! :0)
ReplyDeleteOk. I'm going to provide the dissenting view here -- go scrappy LOL! Sorry about the travel -- very bad timing! Btw...you got the good cover of that magazine -- the cover in our stores is the alternate one -- which is fine, it's just that I wanted YOUR cover!
ReplyDeleteI think scrappy with the pinks and oranges thrown in too!! I love scrappy...to me scrappy means a whole line of a designer also. Be safe in your travels....have fun too! ;o)
ReplyDeleteYou could always use what you already have, and get the pink and orange quilt you want, but then start collecting other sort of "scrappier" pieces to make another one in the scrappy version. Then you will have both :) Or you could see what you have and add a few more fabrics to make it more scrappy :)Have safe travels!
ReplyDeleteI've said that before about this is my no rush quilt pattern...but sometimes those end up being the ones we push to finish because of our excitement about them. I couldn't imagine having to take a business trip with all else to do this time of year...I hope this weekend is producive for you!!

ReplyDeleteScrappy with pink and oranges too!! I love, love that quilt. It definitely is a good quilt to have there to work on from time to time. Love the Xmasy background on your blog too!
ReplyDeleteIf you love it.. make it.. use the colors you have been collecting... maybe make a block and see if you want to add some other colors to it...
