Last night I worked out what I’ll need to print on fabrics to make a block and then started looking for the fabrics I might want to use. This will likely be a 4 or 8 block small quilt as I just want to play and see how it looks. My initial thought was, of course, pink, green and white. Not sure that I’m going to get the effect I want with this group.

Then I thought I might go for a different look with the grey, cream and blue. I’m not thrilled with this group either as I don’t think there will be enough contrast.

This fabric selection process is likely to go on for a few days as I try to find just the right trio of fabrics for this small quilt. Neither of the first two groups really appeals. I may try a red, grey and white group next. Or perhaps I’ll raid the batiks stash for a combo.

This little quilt top will be a fun one to make and a nice transition, along with the pink and green Rose Star. A transition from what to what? From the red and white quilt top, which is finally finished, to the Pickled Ladies which is next up for some concentrated work as I can’t wait to see it with its border. The red and white will be photographed out on the roof garden as soon as we have a day that’s not so breezy that I’m worried about the top flying off the roof garden as we take photos of it.
