Way back in January when everyone was Tripping along, I decided that I would make a scrappy Denyse Schmidt Tripalong quilt to use up some of my DS stash.
I am planning to use the darker fabrics through the centres of the blocks and have separated out the darker shades to use in each of the 30 blocks.
Linking to WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced.

180!! That is a wild number of prints for any stash, let alone a single designer -- quite impressive! Can't wait to see how it all comes together ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, 180! This is going to be stunning!
ReplyDeleteImpressive selection of fabrics to play with there. Your quilt will be stunning. hugs
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be so pretty!
ReplyDeleteReally looks like an interesting puzzle!
ReplyDeleteI made the same discovery about my DS stash when I did a tripalong. It's pretty alarming! This is going to be lovely :-D
ReplyDeleteWow! 180, I don't think I have that many unique fabrics in my stash!
ReplyDeleteThat's an impressive collection! It's going to be a gorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteI am impressed! Did you use that information to extrapolate how many different fabrics are in your stash? My mum asked me how many I thought I had the other day, and I really couldn't answer (probably not 180 from one designer though). I love the DS Quilts prints too - I'm so glad we get them here in Australia and NZ - Spotlight is doing something right! Have you seen the latest line that is out in the States at the moment? I have been looking for it here, but it doesn't seem to have arrived yet - I really like it, especially the dots.
ReplyDeleteWowzers - look at all those DS lovelies! I need to move to Australia - now!
ReplyDeleteOh have fun! What a great quilt you will have with those fabrics!
ReplyDeleteOh I love des but unfortunately don't have so many of her prints in my stash, English shops don't seem to sell them much!
ReplyDeleteI love that you are going with a more controlled colour palette and a definite plan! I wish I had done that! It's going to look very pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh I cannot wait to see those blocks! Should be amazing with all those gorgeous prints.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great! I think I will do this when I am Queen in a Bee again. I love it!
ReplyDeleteIt will look really pretty with the darker fabrics in the centers!
ReplyDeleteAnxious to see this together
ReplyDeleteOh it is going to be gorgeous!!
ReplyDeletewow that is a lot of DS fabric. it is going to look amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be beautiful Kirsten!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, I'm not sure what that says about both her as a designer and you as a collector lol It will look fab when it's done!
ReplyDeleteAhh I am totally drooling over your DS fabrics! This is going to be an amazing quilt!
ReplyDeleteI'm always so impressed when bloggers write about specific fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI know nothing of this type of thing and probably won't!
My fabric mostly comes from yard sales and others giving it to me.
Sometimes I do buy fabric at the quilt shop, but so far only from the reduced room, or a big sale.
Your fabric selection looks really awesome. You will have a lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteWow, over 180 Denise Schmidt scraps! Impressive hoarding/collecting/saving! The quilt is going to look great. I like the idea of having it semi planned with darks in the middle.
ReplyDeleteI love a big pile of scrappy fabric! Can't wait to see what comes of it!
