L&L Pink & White

 

Back to finishing up my fabric pull for the mystery quilt, Lupine & Laughter. The pinks are pretty and they have a huge range all the way from loud magenta to quieter peach pink and they cover all my eras of sewing as well. I think they'll work out. Are some of them maybe meant for the purple stack because they're actually a lot closer to lavender? Well, yes and we'll see how they're meant to be used.

Well, after seeing this picture, a lot of the black/white prints are really quite dark compared to everything else. I definitely do not have enough of the sort of white background prints to work with for this as was suggested by Bonnie K. Hunter in her instructions. So...I may have to substitute and use gray instead, as I have a whole lot of those that might be better. I just wanted the white/black, or W.O.W. that I had to work out. I'll have a look through my other bins to see if there are some white background with other colored prints that might be worth auditioning. I'm pretty sure that I have some but they're probably sorted with the colors.

This is a pretty good side-view picture of the whole fabric pull. I can definitely see some particular fabrics that jump out way too much to my eye that may not get used for this quilt. We shall see as I start piecing.

You could use one background if that would work better for your overall vision.

Thanks, that's a great suggestion. I do have enough of one of the white on white prints. But I'm still deciding...
