It’s proving to be a difficult quilt to photograph. I originally shot a photo of it in our department, and the colors looked muddied, so we waited for the thunderstorm to end and reshot it outside on the back loading dock. It’s not great, but better.
Finished size is about 41 inches per side.
As in, seriously, get out of my house, you’re taking up space and you need to go to your forever home! This queen-sized scrap quilt is ready to go off and see the world. It’ll be shipped to South Carolina this afternoon.

My first attempt at finding the right five colors for “Seven Brides For Seven Brothers.”
From lightest to darkest:
pure white
lake (#194)
evening (#195)
regatta (#346)
nightfall (#140)
The three lights are perfect, as is the darkest fabric. Those are exactly as I envisioned here: www.flickr.com/photos/domesticat/4569611593 But that fourth color (regatta) bugs me. I think it’s too light, too similar to color #3. I think it needs to be a shade or two darker.
