June 10, 2013 By Katie

I’ve got this Barn Quilt Block idea that I’ve been playing with.

It started with pulling out my Prisma colors that I still have from high school.

Although I’m not much for drawing out quilt design, I still use them here and there when it comes to a traditional square block.  My original thought was robin egg blue, white, grey and orange.  One of my favorite color ways.

Drygoods Design carries the Michael Miller Cotton Couture which I’m drawn to more and more.  The hand is soft and the weight perfect for quilting.

My color way changed when Keli and I picked this Michael Miller Les Amis Ripples flannel up.

I put them all together with some purple.  It’s interesting how color and value are relative, the purple makes the grey in the flannel appear to have a purple tint.  I’m looking forward to working with more of these solids.

Quilt’s basted, quilting tomorrow.
