I want to make a" 54 40 or fight quilt by hand" I ordered the Ardco templates. What do you recomend for color placement. I have a pastel pink, soft purple and light green. I want to do the one with the 4 patch in the corner. These pastels will be hard for me. Vi
Vi - I made this same quilt - the piecing has been finished for a year & it's on the frame and being HQ'd at a very slow pace (I have another year to finish before DS & DDIL return from overseas). I used dark blue, light, blue, yellow, and a tiny blue & yellow print on white as a background. The big stars are dark blue, the 4 patches are light blue, and the yellow makes up the other big stars. I'll post a picture on the BB so you can see. It was fun to make and I'm really pleased at how it turned out. NancyH
