Seeing as more than half my social media faves these days tend to be indigo-inspired (think all that shibori dyed goodness), this month's #opgivewarmth palette should come as no surprise...
So last night I had fun with some stripes, half-rectangle triangles and a teensy 1/2" checkerboard. So much so, that I hope to carry over the print-mixing theme into this month's batch of #opgivewarmth blocks. Indigo plaid, pluses, and plenty more to follow!
For those of you who missed the announcement (or would like a refresher), this project is a monthly callout for charity blocks that will benefit My Very Own Blanket (specifically, children in the Indiana foster care system). All styles and piecing methods are welcome. I only ask two things: (1) that your block(s) fits a 3" grid system (i.e. finished sizes of 3", 6", 9", 12", 15", etc., so add a ½" to each of those to allow for seam allowance), and (2) that they mesh with that (or any prior) month's color palette:

Love this combination. It's funny how sometimes an idea just gets stuck in your head... I think 2015 might be the year of navy.
ReplyDeleteThat checkerboard is sick! I agree with a lot of navy comments floating around, but let's call it indigo or ink instead so it sounds less 1994.
ReplyDeleteOf course I love this...blue's my favorite!! Also, I want to see the tiny checkerboard in person...we need to make that happen :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the amazing post I really like your post it just amazing.Blue and white is my favorite color combination and I also want to see the check board in person.

Amanda, pillow boxes are really easy! Essentially, they are just a tube of paper with rounded tops that you pinch a bit! While I cut these ones out with I cut file I created, you can just do a search for "pillow box tutorials" and you will get many different ones that you can trace onto your paper and then cut out.guided tours in Israel

ReplyDeleteI mean, sure, people love traveling during the day, but there are also spots to explore during the night. I am not really fond of beaches, which is why I love exploring during the night. If you ask me, there are a lot of benefits in traveling in the night. Best Monster Truck Show
ReplyDeleteI think I'm with a lot of 'em and say, if you're not "done" with the idea I'd go for the full queen or king quilt. Either would show off your gorgeous work. Then again the other option is intriguing. Sure if you make other quilts to sell and price them at what a quilt should really be priced at, you could recoup some of the cost. I also liked the idea of selling parts of it as kits. Then you don't have to sew it all together, you can recoup costs, see your beautiful work being made and treasured by others. I think even if you were to sell it in one block mini format people would buy them.Outer Banks Jeep Rental

ReplyDeleteI really like this indigo color and I would like to ask my friend to sew a dress for me from this material, but she has flown away on vacation now and does not know when she will return. I asked her where I could buy a dress in a similar material and she recommended me to read bellewholesale reviews because she used to buy clothes there. I think it would be nice to order it online, but I don't know how to choose the right sizes for the dress to fit and fit well.
