Curious to see how it looks on the overall quilt they made. Love the colours.

Working with solids allows quilts to be bright and beautiful while still remain easy on the eyes. I now have more solids in my stash than I do prints (same goes for my wardrobe). <br />Can't wait to see more form you.cinziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05158087270884338719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4632937247663353667.post-3742061644322629882012-02-26T00:19:01.312-08:002012-02-26T00:19:01.312-08:00Hi Kathrine!

I enjoy working with both, prints and solids and I have seen really amazing quilts with solids. <br />Thank you for inspiration!<br />I wish you sunny day! x TejeTeje Karjalainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16737386960364740858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4632937247663353667.post-65240065227374289392012-02-25T21:26:39.291-08:002012-02-25T21:26:39.291-08:00I'm so far sticking with prints. I've not...I'm so far sticking with prints. I've not seen too much done with solids that really excites me. But I think a mix works if the balance works. I think solids has become a fad and I've never followed a fad. I still can't figure out the attraction to gray or how it brightens colors...another fad. I must be the token rebel sewer. What you're working on does look interesting tho.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10540499473620802526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4632937247663353667.post-31500728938250146102012-02-25T20:47:15.704-08:002012-02-25T20:47:15.704-08:00I love prints but sometimes when you use too much,...I love prints but sometimes when you use too much, the project looks busy...know what I mean? To me, solids balance out the overall design and color scheme in certain projects. So for me, it all depends on the project and the print fabric I am using. I will say that using all solids makes the project look boring. :) Gotta have a print in there somewhere!<br /><br />JenJennifer M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07321236895970913325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4632937247663353667.post-15945578652025234062012-02-25T20:41:04.865-08:002012-02-25T20:41:04.865-08:00I'm definitely drawn more to prints than to so...I'm definitely drawn more to prints than to solids - solids always remind me of horrible thin broadcloth type fabric, which was what I used to buy when my kids were little (and money was tight) - I think it was something like $2/metre but frequently went on sale. You could read a newspaper through it - no wonder it was so darn cheap! Also -- prints hide a lot of sewing booboos, LOL!Sandra :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16239494415344028806noreply@blogger.com
