In a couple of weeks I will be doing a workshop on "improvisational piecing". The requirements list called for a number of solid colour fabrics, about 6 of one colour and 2 or 3 of a contrast. I popped into Spotlight a couple of days ago, and found that their plain-dyed homespun fabrics were 30% off. Hooray! Here are my purchases, washed but not ironed yet:
The colours aren't accurate in the photo. In reality the "blue" ones are shades of aqua/teal. My contrasts are coral shades.
Of course I have since received a mailing from Spotlight to say that the homespun fabrics are now 40% off until Sunday. Oh well, I was happy with the 30% discount, and I will stay happy with it!
Another new project - parts on my design board at the moment:

I like the blue/teals with those corals...nice combo.
That pickle dish variation looks complicated--but a pretty block...

Again, you have a nice sewing plan. Marie
I haven't tried improvisational quilting yet but have been looking at some videos on it - looks like fun! love the pickle dish. Enjoy the workshop
Your solids combo is beautiful. Looking forward to seeing what you will made with them. You will make gosgeous quilt with Picke dish variation blocks.Your sewing curves look pretty good.
Good luck with your "improv" session...your colours are fabulous...xox
I look forward to reading about your improv piecing workshop. I did one on improv text while in NZ and it was very liberating. No pattern and cutting with scissors!
Your sample blocks look fabulous.
Interested to see how your improv quilt goes - sounds like a great way to use up bits and pieces.
I’ve not heard of pickle dish before. I’ll have to look it up. Curves seem very difficult. I look forward to seeing your improve piecing. I love the colors (aqua/teal and coral).
A great block, look forward to seeing what you do in the workshop.
Ooh, an improv class, something I've long wanted to do. Will you starch the Homespuns to keep them from raveling? I remember that version of Pickle Dish. Looks like a fun one, is it going to be all from scraps?
Lovely colours x There is always another bargain around the corner x
