Well, I was good this weekend, I did finish the piecing the border on the Summer in the City quilt and now only am waiting for more brown fabric to finish the outer border. I will post another picture when the top is finished.
I also worked on piecing the last 32 blocks for my 30's quilt. I am about half way through finishing them and happily my background fabrics arrived this morning! I chose three typical 30's colors because I still have a lot of 30's prints to use up and will need backgrounds for those future quilts. This allows me to "try out" what will work for this project. So, I laid them out and you can see in the photo how they might look. I now have a strong feeling for which one I would like to use, but I would like you to vote as well and hopefully you will be confirming my thoughts... I hope. Otherwise, I might have to have a real think about it. Please let me know which one. Thanks!
You may be sorry you did this if the vote is split! I vote for the green.
ReplyDeleteI like them all and really can't decide. I think if you like the cooler shades then the blue or green would look really nice or for a warmer and more fresh look the yellow would be a good choice. Thinking about it now I really like the yellow. It's followed closeley by the blue....and then the green???? I don't think I've been much help. Now I am confused.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you make it just the way it is with all three. I really like that. It certainly makes the quilt happy.
ReplyDeleteI like the rainbow effect with all three of them, too! But if I had to choose one, it would be the blue...
ReplyDeleteI like the green :)
ReplyDeleteOK, firstly I would say not the blue - it is lovely but when you cover the other 2 up and look at just the blue, it doesn't look very 30's. So I'm down to the green and yellow. I cover up the yellow and blue and look at just the green and I'm thinking yep that looks really nice. But then when I look at just the yellow, I immediately say YES! That's the one!
ReplyDeleteBut that's just me:) Really, any one of them would be beautiful - pick which one makes you feel all 'tingly' inside!
I also like the combination of all three colors together. It would make for a very unique quilt! If you'd prefer not to go that route, I think I would probably go with the yellow.
ReplyDeletei like the combination of the three the way you have it placed now.

ReplyDeleteI vote either green or all three. All three is not typical of the time but the green surely is!
ReplyDeleteI've got to say yellow- it's so bright and cheery, but then, depending on the ultimate purpose of this quilt, I also love the green... the blue is the only oneI don't LOVE.
ReplyDeleteI like all the colours and would perhaps go for top and bottom sashings in one and side sashings in another if that makes any sense - lol ! The other I would use for a skinny border.
ReplyDeleteI like all three also - but if I could only pick one... I would say green.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny! When I saw you had 13 comments I thought they would all say "blue". But they don't!!! I like the blue (incase you couldn't tell).
ReplyDeletethe green would be my vote, seems to be true to the 30's theme.
ReplyDeletehaving said that, I like the look of the yellow.
It's funny reading all the other comments. I would have to vote for the green although I think any would be fine.
ReplyDeleteI'm not voting on this one. =) What I'm curious about, though, is how you manage to put together so many quilts in such a short amount of time and once you've made them, what do you do with them? They're amazing! I love how your Summer in the City one is turning out!
ReplyDeleteA combination of all would be lovely, when I have to choose I would say green than blue and than yellow. I think with the yellow you get more a 30's idea.
