Day 4 From My Solids Vault

Amish Shadows
Here is another quilt that I made using the Windham Gee's Bend Solids. I based it on a traditional Amish quilt I saw in a book. Those colors are so drenched and pop out as they sit between the black squares. And seeing those squares set on point is so much more interesting than not, huh?

This quilt appeared in McCall's about 2 years ago and is also in my 2014 wall calendar. This is how it appeared in McCall's:

    It's beautiful. I love the way the black sets out the colors. I have ALMOST worked with solids several times but am seduced away by pattern. This Hop has strengthened my resolve to do something in solids this year. :)

    Debby this really turned out lovely, the blue pulls out the colors and the FMQ is fabulous, thanks for sharing. I agree with gpc, this hop is inspiring me to work more with Kona solids

    I love the colors! I don't know how I missed that line of fabrics. Whenever you say "vault," I envision a huge bank vault and inside stacks and stacks of quilts you've made. =)

    I have the pattern from your calendar!
    That quilt is going on my bucket list. Black is popping up in a lot of my sewing lately.
