Supernova Quilt Along

I'm a little behind the rest of the group but very excited to start my very own Supernova quilt. My friend Lee is hosting this quilt along. Visit her blog here and read all about it. You can join at any time!!  : )

I had a hard time deciding on which fabrics to use for this quilt. The quilt blocks are very graphic and I'm experimenting with a softer color palette. I started with a fat eighth stack of Sunkissed by Sweetwater and traded the green prints for more orange, yellow and pink from my stash.  Fresh and Springy, yes?

What colors are you playing with this week?

    This will be very beautiful and springy! Love your inspiration photos. I'm starting to think the best way to do a QAL is after the fact. Then you can peruse all the different finished quilts and see how all the different effects that were achieved!

    Great colors of fabric... so fun to see it blow in the wind! I'm play with lots of fun colors over at Ribbon Jar. I'm ready to make another multi-colored Ric-Rac Pillow!
