Lavender Fields

Yesterday when I posted the picture of a little quilt I am working on, there were several comments about the color of the quilt. But it is not gray and yellow, or blue and yellow, but Lavender and yellow :-)

It all started with this piece of fabric.....

When I found this sweet butterfly fabric I had to add it to the lavender fabric I already had.

The lavender is such soft shades that my little digital camera does not really capture the true colors. But this is how it is coming along.

I love this pattern from Cluck Cluck Sew. This is the second time I've made it and Allison's pattern is certainly a classic that goes together so easily. It's a great tutorial.

Have a Happy Quilting day!!

The colours are so delicate, a truly pretty quilt. I love this design too, but I'm not sure whether to call it hourglasses or pinwheels ;o)

Sometimes it is so disappointing to see that the camera doesn't catch all the beauty that one can see in person. I thought it was gray, too, but lavender...hmm, how sweet is that!?!

I love it. Soft lavender purple is really becoming one of my "I can't resist" colors. :)

Very fun colors -- it does read gray and yellow, but I can now see the soft lavender colors. Great job!
