Orange is OK

I've never thought of making a mostly orange quilt before, but the FQ pack I chose for my Consequences Quilt came with an extra half yard of orange, so I knew that would be the sashing, borders and binding colour.

It's been quite a busy week, but I managed to steal a few half hours here and there, and have mostly assembled the strips I received back

Then yesterday we had an hour's drive to Portsmouth, so I took some hexi templates and some of the left over fabrics and tacked myself a whole pile of hexies

and have now stitched them together and auditioned them as a final row


I think I'm quite happy with the result!

Now I just need to get round to removing the templates and sewing them on, then I can add the border.  And d'you know what, I'm very happy with my orange quilt!

    Orange, isn't my first go to color either, but it is fun sometimes to go outside our comfort zone!

    It looks beautiful, so bright and happy. And seeing it with the orange, it's hard to imagine the sashing/borders etc being any other colour.

    That orange is the perfect background for all the other colours. It's all looking beautiful :)
