Sew & Tell Friday
This little one-patch is made from a Joel Dewberry Aviary charm pack and Michael Miller Krystal. The pattern is from Bits and Pieces by Karen Costello Soltys, a sweet book with some great starting points.
I actually put it together awhile ago and am now ready quilt it. I would really like to machine quilt it with a lovely heavy thread in a kind of milk chocolate color (despite this cruddy photo, it would match), but my machine is a little picky. Today I will experiment to try to get that to work.
I think my next project should be to learn how to use my camera--the colors are always a bit harsh and gaudy. In real life, the pink is much more subtle. And yes, I could edit more, but I'd like to start with better pics. :) I might have to read the manual instead of just look at the illustrations!

That fabric is really beautiful. I really like the bird square! I also like the idea of chocolate thread with these colors.
great fabric....this will be fun with the brown quilting.
Very pretty! I hope you post a picture when it's all quilted.
I have the same problem with pictures. It's something I have little patience to work on, though.
Those fabrics are beautiful!
wow....gorgeous.,what a beautiful fabric.
visiting you from sew and tell
How cute!
I love the colors! Pink and orange are wonderful together.
My pictures aren't as perfect as I want them to be either. Usually they have stray toys and socks in the background!
It turned out really cute! I like that fabric line too. What size are your squares? How big is the finished piece?
A lot of time, pictures do not turn out well because of the on board flash on the camera. If you can take a picture outside it will almost always turn out with more natural colors. However, since that is not always possible, you could try to soften your flash with a diffuser. You can make one at home pretty easily.
Woo-hoo for pizza night!
Your quilt looks very pretty. Sometimes its haed to get true colour photos.
I get very frustrated with taking pictures as well. The never seem to come out the way I want them to. I love the bright colors in your quilt and I think Chocolate Brown thread sounds delish!
Very pretty fabrics in your quilt! I think the chocolate brown thread for quilting would be perfect. Good luck with the quilting.
Such pretty fabrics! Have fun with the quilting...I hope it works out like you imagine it.
I like the sunny feel to this quilt.
I really love this mini quilt. The fabrics are gorgeous. I can see how your chocolate brown thread will look nice. Good luck getting your machine and camera working to your satisfaction. Enjoy the weekend.
I love the Joel Dewberry Aviary fabric. It is just fantastic! Good luck with the quilting, I hope you post a finished pic when you get it done!
