peach distraction
I adore peach. And the funny thing is that I'm pretty sure in my youth I disdained it. I think I used to associate it with all things dated, back before I knew that there is no such thing as a bad color (no such thing!).
Earlier this week I was craving something new, some patchwork I could throw around just for the fun of it that wouldn't require a design-wall, and I had so much trouble making up my mind. A picnic quilt based on this blue/green stashed backing? A brighter picnic quilt to match my home dec backing scraps? Or should I start work on a new class project? Or just reign myself in to those curtains I need to make?
I chose these fabrics for a maybe picnic quilt...
Then, before bed, it occurred to me to make a simple quilt from Kingwell's book Quilt Lovely with peach as the background color, instead of low volume.
Sold. Settled. Gathering new fabrics first thing in the morning!
And cutting. An chain piecing. Blissfully distracted by peach.
