Now that I have all of the Salty Aire fabrics, I am able to start on my Plus quilt:
I made a small version for the DS mini quilt swap and really want to make a big throw sized quilt using all of the DS fabrics.
I am going with Toni's way of making the "Plus" which I saw on her blog and she was kind enough to give me the sizes to cut - so last night I cut out squares and rectangles out of about 55 different DS fabrics :
and have them all laid out on my design wall floor and am just playing around with the colours this morning. The yellow plus seems a bit out of place but it really clashes with the oranges in the newer fabrics if I move it closer to them so it may just have to stay where it is.........
ETA: I have now moved the yellow plus over to the left more - which I really should have done before I had pieced the rows together but I thought I had better do it before I got any further:)

Your mini looks good. Looking forward to the throw size. :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute mini quilt. I keep seeing the plus quilt bouncing around and am loving it. Can't wait to see your throw size come together.
ReplyDeleteKirstin, it is fabulous! Your quilt is going to be so fun, and I love how you have one plus from each fabric. I can't wait to see it all together!
ReplyDeleteNot only the mini quilt is cute, but also the taller one promises to become a stunner! I like how you sorted the colors to get a gradient!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt to be. I would so have to concentrate not to mess up the lay out!
ReplyDeleteLove the plus quilt! And I have to say, I like that yellow cross right in the middle. It adds something extra interesting to the quilt!
ReplyDeleteOooh, that's looking good. Knowing me, I'd end up with a bunch of squares and strips rather than pluses!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty with the colorplay! I wish our Joannes had all these colors. This will be a fabulous quilt!
ReplyDeleteI like the yellow plus :)
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics, I bet it will look fantastic when it's all together!
ReplyDeleteI love your mini! I think the bigger pluses is awesome too, I like the yellow plus.
ReplyDeleteThat big pluses is going to look so good! And it's great seeing all the DS prints together.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
