Evening WIP

I'm a couple days late (I think) getting this 'placemat proof' pieced together.  I was asked if I could make four placemats in blues, with just a hint of lime green.  I jumped at the chance!   

 It doesn't look very lime green, does it?!  Nope!  It just hit me...I used chartreuse!  Chartreuse, not lime green.  As I said, this is a 'proof'.

 I really love making anything I can rip through with my rotary cutter.  No measuring, no worries!  


Placemat WIP

I like to use a wide variety of fabrics and colors.  This one has some Shot Cottons (I am a shot-cotton-a-holic, I cannot lie) along with 'regular' cotton fabrics.  


 Several different shades of blue, teal, aqua-ish.  A good color combination.  I find that I go back to this combination frequently.  It rarely fails me.  Soothing.  Calming.  I like it. 

 Do you have a 'go to' color combination?  I'd love to hear what it is!  Comments are always welcome!

    Do you cut all the strips ahead or cut each as you need it? I have played with curved strips, but not a whole series of them. I like the look you are getting.

      I do one at a time. I like doing it that way, it makes me feel more in control!

    I'm amazed at the curves ~ how cool! I think my current favorite color combination is beachy ~ turquoise, coral, lime. I really need to start on something with those colors!

    I'm a sucker for oranges, corals and teals/aqua. I like it BRIGHT! I'm loving your colour combo even if it's a 'proof' and I must try the curves. It looks like a relaxed approach.

    That is one awesome placemat! How about ramping up the scale and making a wall quilt as well? Your WIP is really stunning--gorgeous!

    Love it!! Chartreuse and lime green are really similar anyway. You know this from dyeing fabric!

      they are very similar! But she opted for lime green. The chartreuse was too yellow! Thank you!
