Rich Colors for a Grey January

This collection of fat quarters are calling to me.  It's my intention to work with rich colors and be bold in 2019.  These are an inspiring group to start the year.  I began working with them in the fall and hope to finish the quilt by this spring.


At a getaway quilting weekend, Jane H. brought her delicious collection of threads to work on her project.  It got me thinking about how I use value first and color second in most of my quilts.

And here is my progress so far in my quilt.  The next step is to decide on size and whether to add more blocks or to now focus on borders.  The borders will have applique work in the opposing corners of the quilt rather than over the entire border.  The quilt is designed specifically for an individual that I admire but have never met.  Getting it finished may be easier than actually getting it to the individual!
