I was working on this quilt yesterday. Totally at peace. In my zone. Then I realized its been a month since I made a quilt! How can that be? I feel like I have made one...but I don't suppose 'thinking' about making them really counts!
I decided to call this my 'Manly Man' quilt. Probably because brown is a good sturdy color. A good rough and tough color. Manly. Men need quilts too!
I made a quilt very similar to this one over a year ago. Here. I used a pattern from APQ called 'My Guy' for the first one.
This one, I changed up. Same kind of vibe as my first one. I increased the width and length of the woven stripes (Kaffe Fasset). I love the colors against the brown. They seem to brighten it up, give some visual interest. The strip between the stripes is a deep, dark brown.
Brown is an interesting color, don't you think?
What is your favorite background color? Brown, white, blue...maybe black or grey?
Quilting next...to be continued!
Brown. A color produced by mixing red, yellow and black.
