Colours!

I was thinking about this Big Fat Wedding Quilt (BFWQ) last night and I'd really like to plan it a bit better than the others I've done.

So I thought about colours. And thought. And thought.

And decided there were a few I could cross off the list.

pink. red. black. purple. white.

and then there were a few that had to stay:

yellow (my favourite). green (his favourite).

and the others I didn't really mind...

grey. ivory. orange. blue.

What do you think is the best way to pick fabrics? How many do you recommend? How much do you buy of it?

  2. Oh, anything! I made it up :) I was hoping to use all my favourite blocks.

    Although, if I was really dedicated, I'd make a double wedding ring quilt. Guh, they make me swoon!

  3. I have a this book at home and it has a pattern for the double wedding ring quilt. And it also has a picture of one from Ohio around WWII. It's gorgeous.
