Every time I show a new quilt top to my husband, his standard reply – “Is that a little busy”. Huh? I have threaten to name several quilts “a little busy”. In his function vs. form engineer world “busy” means more than two colors! There is something special about a quilt using one color family and a neutral. Though out quilt history many lovely tops have been made using this formula.
Two color–or one color with a neutral quilts are classic, they are never out of style even if the color is typical of a certain decade. Their color scheme goes well in an established home decor. The Quilt Etc. Sale and Auction has two quilts that would fit into your home style perfectly.
This soft blue and white quilt is spectacular.
Peaceful, calm not busy! The pinwheel blocks and border add motion but the color scheme suggests serenity. It is 88″ x 108″–would fit you queen or king size bed.
The back of the quilt compliments the color scheme. I am fascinated by the border–sort of flying geese but not–more difficult to do and you won’t see this pattern very often. A simple floral pattern was used for the machine quilting. The quilting isn’t dense which makes it softer. This quilt is $600
You have seen the next quilt –before it was machine quilted. Machine quilting gives the quilt a new personality.
This is the Cherries and Cream quilt back from the long arm quilted and with the binding.
This is a “two color” quilt–even though a lot of different reds were used. Various shades and tints of the same color add interest.
The backing is a white on white print and the quilting is a meandering vine. It is 78″ x 90″. It is $450.
