Quilter501 - Block 2 - French General Fabrics

I made a commitment to try to use my stash for this quilt.  So first, I cut up my solids this month and arranged the 5 solids I had from this French General collection and decided how I could best arrange the various background selections.  Here is a picture of how I tentatively will place the various solid blocks.  You can see the first two blocks in the upper left hand corner.  The lightest color is this month's block.


Then I continued trying to do this block in Broderie Perse from some of the gorgeous florals.  The buds may be the death of me but I will keep trying.  I decided to try to do the Broderie Perse closely appliqued because of the differences in the backgrounds.  Each block may be different.

I love this quilt....and even the large blocks.  I am looking forward to how each background color fits with the prints and florals I have.

  6. I am hoping I do too.....in the end. But I SWEAR I am going to use up my stash. For awhile, every shop I went to, I bought more French general fabrics.....Just couldn't seem to get enough. Now I really want to enjoy them IN QUILTS. :)
