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 :-).

I really like quilts with that color in them. But, I have never had the courage to use it in a big way in one of my own. Thanks for the inspriation.

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.
