How About a Little Chrome?
Chrome yellow is another color that can bring a quilt to life. Personally I think it's underused, even when making reproduction quilts. You don't need much to add a bit of spark.
Chrome yellow, double pinks and poison green! Knock my socks off!

ReplyDeleteOh boy my fave. However, I can really see the chrome in the "stiff" quilt going into a different quilt and those wonderful brown stars going into another one, oh those stars set differently would be sooooooo great :-).

What wonderfully graphic quilts and bold use of colour. These quilters knew how to make quilts sing. Love the chrome yellow and the pine burr with red as a background is stunning.
ReplyDeleteLove all three, but especially the nine patch. Humble, but beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the Feathered Star quilt. And, yes, that yellow gives it a zing!
ReplyDeleteWhoops, I remembered that it is not a feathered star pattern but a Pine Burr. It is also called World Without End but I don't know why.
