If you've been reading this blog for any length of time you know I don't make assumptions about what will go with what - that I wait to see what happens on the design wall.
I filled in all the light areas with the white and colored prints I had chosen, and some from my stash. decided to make pairs and use those consistently throughout the quilt. I didn't have enough of some, so I had to break my own rules from time to time, but that's just the way things shake out.
Here are some of the pairs:

These two seemed to fit perfectly together.

Butterflies and dragonflies - of course!
|
 |
Big flowers - Little flowers. Works for me.

I used this Mad Hatter fabric to fill in a lot of empty spaces at the end.

| You KNOW I had to use the bras again! That is only my most favorite fabric EVER! 😂😂 |
When I first started laying out this quilt, I removed this light fabric - the thread with the needles. I thought it was too dark.
So I used this very light pink fabric instead. It is in the final quilt. At first I thought it was too light, so changed it to this:
It didn't seem quite right, though. So I changed it back to the first photo at the top of this post. Now it is time to sew it all together.

All of those different fabrics are so much fun. It is amazing how they are intriguing separately, and then look so marvelous as a unit placed together.
So many great pinks! (I am coveting several of them.) Together they make a terrifically cheery quilt.
Such an awesome quilt! With one eye, I see diamonds and with the other, I see pinwheels! Both are great looks and one I'd like to make with my multitude of scraps!
The pink and white quilt is beautiful. I enjoy your blog and love your style. As I look at the pink and white quilt,I'm curious to how you sew it together. Do you diagonal rows or sew rectangles ? Thank you for sharing your talents with us!
What a treat to see all your fabrics. My sister had the bra fabric, too, and I've purchased some of your others. It's good to see how people use these lovelies.
It is always interesting to see what you will do next.
