I have decided to join Angela in her Rainbow Scrap Challenge for 2014. Although I did make a big dent in my stash in 2013, it is far from gone and there are some fabrics that just never seem to get pulled out and used.
Being a planner I have spent the last couple of weeks wondering what pattern I would like to use and how I can best incorporate scraps into it. Well, a pickle dish quilt was very close to the top of my list of quilts I wanted to make so why not jump in with both feet. I thought about the word challenge and decided to challenge myself to use fabrics in my stash that never get pulled out. They are the fabrics that catch my eye but always are a bit to bright to use in quilts I have made in the past. So this am, I went to my closet and found a bundle of batik fat quarters, and a stack of black and white fabrics and then I just pulled out a few others that were bright enough to catch my eye.
I was the lucky winner of Vicki Welsch's hand dyed fat eighths so I hope to use them also. Thinking about combining all these fabrics is a bit bold so I hope to tie them together with a gray tone on tone, which is fitting since it is a neutral color that I have never used.
I love all these bright colors on a cloudy winter day, but I must admit they make me hyperventilate just a bit! I am looking forward to starting with my first block this week, to see how it will turn out! This is going to be the perfect little project that will brighten up my year as I continue with my quest to get a few more quilts quilted this year.
