inspired #3

this fabric stack, all pulled from my stash (except the feather print at bottom) is a color palette that's been bouncing around in my head for a while now. i love the vibrant, deep jewel tones. so much color. i feel like that one touch of golden brown grounds the whole set, keeping it from being too bright. i'll have to add one or two more.

i wasn't sure where i was getting the idea from, so i went back over my saved posts in instagram and found some similar ideas.

this strip set is from a bundle made by jennifer at penelope handmade. i can definitely see the tones here with the addition of some hot pink. i might have to add that. my pull has more green in it. i'm kinda wishing i'd bought this bundle, too, but i think i didn't because i have most of the fabrics already.

this quarter log cabin quilt is from jolene at blue elephant stitches. it has a similar vibe to what i want. i must have seen it as i was reading her old posts in the spring. i think i'd really like to make a log cabin with these colors, but i've made a lot of log cabins lately. i'd have to switch something up somewhere.

this checkerboard nine patch from jolene is similar in colors, too, but they're solids. this might be a good setting for my fabrics. if not these, i'd like to do something similar anyway. this quilt may have been what inspired me to add the deep gold color to my fabric pull. i might add some of the other browns, too, now that i'm looking at this again.

these flying geese in strips would be good. rachel made them from a tutorial by andy at a bright corner.

this strip set is really cute, but i actually think i'll be doing this with another set of fabrics i have. not that i couldn't do both, but might as well not.

star lake quilt pattern from the blanket statement by made just sew

 this star-like configuration looks like a good way to mix a bunch of colors.

this little pincushion studio "picnic in the park" quilt from sew jen quilts is really good, too. this pattern is a log cabin with specific value placement of strips that looks great.

stars are always good

diamonds from ruby star society

i haven't done triangles in a while. this could be fun.

checkerboard by maechen marie

i like this idea of using greens for every other square and then mixing the other colors in for the rest. ooh - i bet i could strip piece it for ease and speed.

i have to stop now. every time i get into my saved posts on instagram, i want to make about 20 quilts asap! there's just so much inspiration out there, so many good things to make. i want to make all of these ideas whether with these fabrics or not.

i think i'm still leaning toward a log cabin of some sort after all.

what would you make with these fabrics?
