inspiration fabric





Well here's my inspiration fabric. The eggplant isn't as prevalent as I thought, but maybe the sofa brings it out. I'm trying to do something a little more sedate color wise than what I usually work with (and no black - gasp). I'm not trying to match exactly either colors or pattern, but just something that would look good in the same room. I found the swatch but it's only about 2" square, you can't tell anything so I'll just print this picture when I go fabric shopping for the backgrounds, maybe a couple of coordinating that can be used or just guides for colors.

  1. Looks like a fun group of colors! I think this has tons of potential. If you have scraps of other inspirational colors you can add them to the notebook without actually sending yardage. I'm sure I have plenty of fabrics that would look good with that. :)

  2. I figure I'm going to go shopping later this week with the pillow and at least get the eggplant and tan as I don't have anything like that in my stash. then you'll have my blocks to use too and I'll send along any scraps I don't use.

  3. Dee, I love the colors, I know I have something that will go with it also. I bought my colors yesterday. Kona Red and Kona White. They are in the washer right now, separately of course.

  4. thanks Rebecca. I'm making a concerted effort to use colors differant than my usual quilt colors. There won't be a single black anywhere ;-) and I don't know that I even thought about purchasing something like those muted mustard tans before.
