I had a hard time for several days deciding what colors I wanted to make the bowls with borders quilt. I then decided to make is somewhat neutral so it can go in my kitchen which I just painted. My kitchen colors are tan, black, and white. Therefore, I ended up making my quilt with mostly black and white colors. I did want to add a splash of color so I also used some green on each of the bowls.
At first, I wasn't sure if the black and white worked. I did realize that I needed to alternate a light bowl (mostly white) with a dark bowl (mostly black). This is only the second project that I have paper pieced and I was so happy that it was easy and quite enjoyable to do. I ended up stacking a total of twelve bowls and decided this was the perfect size to hang in my kitchen. I might make another one sometime in the future and use some bright and vibrant colors, but for now I love this one!
Make sure you check out all of the other bowls with borders quilts for today's blog hop too.

ReplyDeleteHi Jaime
ReplyDeleteChecked out your blog and I love your black and white bowls quilt. Catch That Cat looks like a cute book. Check out your library for more books for your boys. Caldecott are award winning books for young ones while Newberry Award Winners are for older children. Nevertheless, your local library will have an unlimited source of reading material for you and your boys. As a retired teacher, I recommend you take them when you have time and let them pick out books they might like to read. Thanks for sharing, from California.
We go to the library about once a week. It's so much fun for my boys to pick out books they want to read.
DeleteLove your choice of colours, very beautiful quilt.

Very cut and the green was a perfect choice. The stippling around the bowls makes them puff enough to look 3-D. Very cool!
