Listen to the Fabrics!



This morning my red silks were all fanned out on my table.  I sewed them all together and cut into a 7" block.  I have wanted to make a silk fan quilt for a long time.  Maybe this is it...




I added a black border and it looked like it would be a good center for an Amish Diamond-in-the-Square quilt.  Made fabric from neutrals for the side triangles.  But the combination just didn't sing to me...




The reds needed a little improv, too!  I hear ya!

  3. Well my effort for the challenge will have to wait until early November, I do love your reds Helen and the muted colours in the other silks.
