go go Cerise

Inspired by Sunday Morning Quilts

Gumdrops quilt from Sunday Morning Quilts

and my overflowing neutral scrap drawer,

overflowing neutral scraps!

today I've pulled out some glorious Kona Cerise yardage and a pile of scraps - neutrals spiced with peachy pink.

initial colors

After cutting some "gumdrops" I decided to eliminate the brown fabrics.  Little brown lumps are a wee bit too suspicious in this not-so-candy color scheme.  I'm really loving the peachy pink with this saturated magenta.  Yeeow!  So girly girl.  The blacks, whites and grays take it more modern. 

do you like it?

It's worrying me a bit that this doesn't look anything like "gumdrops" in these colors.  I think it still works.   Maybe it's a candy of unidentified origins?

Happily this pattern uses really small scraps - even some fabric crumbs!  Liam and I cut a bowl full of double-sided fusible now standing at the ready.  Looks like my scissors and I best get busy!
