OPERATION BEIGE QUILT {THE FABRIC SELECTION}

So I wanted to post an update

on 

Operation Beige Quilt. 

While Not So Little Person

was at tennis lessons,

I had every intention of

drawing/sketching

out my plans for the beige quilts,

but that didn't happen because I

spent the entire time

digging through my purse & car to find

a rubber band to pull back my "humidity hair" into a pony tail.

Humidity & my hair are not friends!

Luckily  I found a pony tail holder

just in time to hit the pool

for swimming lessons.

When we got to the pool,

I parked myself in a spot under an umbrella & got to work

on my beige quilt ideas.

Here is a glimpse of my fancy quilt math.

Luckily I still remembered what 

I was thinking when I got home.

Fabric Selection

In my mind, I had a couple of criteria for the beige quilts.

1. Since the sofa is beige, I don't want the quilt fabrics to compete with the sofa. I really don't want it to scream "quilt on the sofa", so something TOTALLY out of my comfort zone....softer colors...not the bold solids that I am currently using for my Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt.
2. The fabrics must compliment my current color scheme..i.e. the already existing pillows on my sofa. My "current" colors are oatmeal, french ivory, and spa blue. Now if you ask Hubby, the colors are beige, white, & light blue. 

So when we got home from the pool,

I dug into my 

stash of beige/cream/white fabrics

and I came up with these:

I pulled quite a bit more

but

apparently

photographing cream, beige,white 

is not easy!

So tonight,

I am going to flex my Quilter's muscles

and cut like a mad quilter

until

I have 

(160) 12 1/2" squares.

Wish me luck

because 

I am on a mission!

Until Next Time...Happy Quilting
