Making Celtic Solstice: Part 2

Clue 2 of Celtic Solstice was posted:  We're making chevrons!  My color scheme is different from Bonnie's, I used light blue in place of her green, and grey in place of her yellow.  (You can see my entire color scheme earlier on my blog if you're interested.)

My fabrics, cut and ready to be sewn:

Do you notice that grey with the black texture in front of the right-most pile of grey squares?  I bought that specifically to use with Bonnie's last mystery, Easy Street. See below:


It's a good grey print, very versatile for a lot of different projects.  Since I have a lot left over, I thought it would be appropriate to use it in this mystery as well.  It fits right in with my color scheme!

Here you go, my chevrons all sewn up and ready to be put in their place in the quilt:


I am really liking this color scheme, the light blue with the grey.  I may have to plan another quilt in this color scheme, I like it so much.  At this rate, my list of "to do" quilts will never end LOL!

  1. I love that you chose different colors and look forward to seeing how different your Celtic Solstice quilt will turn out. I was not brave enough to choose different colors.

    1. This is my first time straying from Bonnie's color choices, so I'm curious to see how it works out too LOL. With Easy Street, I stuck to her colors because I loved them but it was also fun to see how others chose different colors. I think that's what gave me the bravery to try it this time. :)

    1. Thank you so much, Rhoda. Blue is my favorite color, and I'm really loving how this shade is playing with the grey. I can hardly wait until the next clue, I'm looking forward to seeing how the fabrics all play together in the end. :)

  3. I think you made an excelent choice in your colors. In fact, I like them better than Bonnie's but she chose her's based on the Ireland trip. It is a memory quilt of sorts for her. I wanted to change colors, but ran out of time and wanted to use what was in my stash. Your quilt is going to be beautiful in those colors.
