This baby quilt just arrived at its destination in Sweden,
so now I can share it with you here.
Our Vermont Modern Quilt Guild had a challenge this winter.
We were invited to make something quilted featuring
Kona's color of the year "splash".
Kona's color of the year "splash".
We were also instructed to use color theory when we chose our fabrics.
I missed the two meetings when the fat quarters were given out,
so I decided to wing it and find similar colors in my fabric stash.
The only fabric I purchased for this quilt was for the backing.
There are many sentimental and sweet fabric scraps sewn into this
quilt top, including bits from maternity dresses
I sewed for myself 37 years ago!

I tossed a few bits of orange in here and there to
illustrate "complimentary colors" in my color scheme.
I used Sherri Lynn Wood's book on improv piecing
to inspire me.
This quilt was so much fun to make!
Wonky and off-kilter and spontaneous.
Some of the corners are not even square.
And guess what?
The Quilt Police have not come knocking on my door!
This is officially my new normal.
I admire precision and perfection,
but I am a wabi sabi girl at heart...
to inspire me.
