Getting started on the walls project. I rummaged around in the garage (which is where I keep my boxes of fabric) and came up with two sets of colours. I think I had in my head something quite literal, so was looking for greys, browns, that sort of thing.
After a few days of looking and thinking I came to the conclusion that neither of these was quite right. I didn't mind either, but equally didn't feel that excited by them. So I've had another go, keeping quite a few of these but broadening it out a bit.
As you can see I've pulled some prints this time, and quite a few murky yellows/yellowy-greens. I'm feeling much more interested in this selection, so will set off and see where I get to. I guess some of these may not make it into the quilt and other fabrics may turn up that aren't here, but it's a fair jumping off point.
As a side note, I've noticed that I'm much happier once I throw some prints into the mix. I like the idea of a quilt made just with solids, but haven't yet looked a a grouping of solid fabrics and not wanted to shove some pattern in there.

I like the vibe I am getting with the final selection. I can't decide if it is an early spring day or an autumn afternoon... but either way the fabric selection works really well!
well, you're off (the wall) and running. I have two more timed projects to do before I can start. LEeAnna
Really like those prints you've added to the mix!
I love your fabric choice. I love to see the finished quilt.
I have to put prints in my fabric selections too, but then I think the only true solids I've ever used are black and a little bit of white. Tonals are my friend. ;) I like your starting line-up. Can't wait to see your progress!
