This is the stripey stones quilt I started way back when and is so far made entirely of Oakshott cottons. As you can see from the wrinkles most of it has spent summer in a box.
I am not sure about what colour to do the remaining pebbles. I had in my mind a perfect blue-grey but have not been able to find a suitable shot cotton - if anyone knows of one I would be very grateful to hear of it. I did find a Kaffe Fassett one, but it is rather too fine compared to the Oakshott, so I may have to stick to the existing colours.
I think these pebbles are going to make an awesome quilt! I have yet to work with Oakshott. I love shot cottons and have only used Kaffe Fasset. One day Oakshott will hit my hoard! Can't wait to see where this ends up!
ReplyDeleteCna't offer any fabric advice, but I have to say it sounds like a lovely project and what you have so far looks like it will turn out beautifully.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adore striped pebbles. I think your quilt is gonna be fab -it already is!
