When you think of summer, what colors do you see?
That was our assignment for May in the do.Good Stitches bee. Make two blocks with this tutorial. Choose summer colors.
Now that is what I call fun! I really enjoyed picking the fabrics for these blocks.
And it will be great seeing all these blocks together with each person’s color impressions all in one quilt.
Are there “official” summer colors out there somewhere? What are the colors that sing summer to you?
For years I've dreamed of writing a book about quilting. The type of book that I've felt is completely missing from the quilting world. More photos and inspiration, and less technical details and pages of writing. I've tried to accomplish that with my first book, which is self published and full of quilts, simple patterns, lots of talk about the quilts... and well, maybe that's enough for this paragraph! Visit the blog post for more details!
NOTE! My book is now available on Amazon as well!
I love the colors you selected…especially love the second block with those orange stripes!
the limes, the lemons, the strawberries, raspberries… fruity colors are my favorites for summer
Love those blocks.
Oh my stars I am in love with that first block.
But the blue in that second block… Erf, I'll just say they're both gorgeous.
This block is so cool. Yes, I agree with Trish above: the fruity colors are cool and refreshing.
summer…red green yellow blue… i love these blocks. you kill me with your awesomeness!
So fresh and bright. just lovely!
I love the colors you chose! I have a mish-mash of colors for summer: Bright blue skies, white clouds, deep blue water, all colors of green growing things, red roses and tomatoes, yellow sun, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, beach sand, purple sunsets…I would have a really hard time narrowing it down! :p
They are both great blocks! Such yummy colors.
Very summer for sure! Stripes say summer to me as well. That is a fun bee concept. Thanks for sharing!
