After the boys completed their work of piling like colors together, I sifted through our manna of fabric scraps. We have silks and wools and cottons and polyesters.
Part of the donation came in the form of swatch colorways. With entertaining names such as Eros and Kisses, I can't help but think that our quilt will be made with a whole lotta love, after all.
It's never a good idea to look a gift horse in the mouth. I'm grateful for what we've got, and just like our quilting grandmothers, we'll make do. With that in mind, our quilt will be made from both natural and synthetic fabrics.
As for our quilt colorway, here's what will be in it:
Oranges, coppers, rusts and tans
Yellows and golds
True blues, navys, robin egg blues, denims and blacks
And let the games begin.
