And In The Meadow… By: Susan Cook, Pennsylvania, USA This quilt is my first original design. When I first published it, I made the carrot button noses from polymer clay and I could make about 60 of them an hour. My hands were stained orange for 3 days after. Since then, I’ve had my buttons made by a company that reproduced one of my handmade buttons. Quilt size: width: 33" height: 41" |

Snowman Quilt By: piecrust, Georgia, USA This quilt represents my family and friends as snowmen. Fun to make, and even more fun to characterize someone as a snowman.

Winter Weekends By: Kaaren Biggs, Ontario, Canada An extra-long cuddle quilt for my son who is 6′ 7″ tall – snowmobiling is how he relaxes after a busy week in the corporate world!

Winter Welcome By: Nancy, Utah, USA My first attempt at applique and I felt the house looked too lonely, so I decided to add a snowman waving hello.

Utilizo mucho los colores sólidos, pero quizá el que más uso es el beig.
saludos
I am not made for Winter!
as a “snopey” character said,however i do like pics of snowmen and spots of bright color, like the cardinal.
I use off whites and/or a deep brown color most often — depends on the colors of the main fabrics in quilt blocks!
Depende del trabajo elegido pero el que mas utilizo ,rojo- verde…SALUDOS.
I use red most often
probably pink. thanks for the chance
Lately I’ve been using a lot of blue, but usually I use white or cream.
I loooove using shades of green!!! (tho does depend on what other colors I’m usin’ in a quilt lol) I loooove green! :)
Thanks for chance to be in your drawing!
All of them are great I just wish I knew how to make them all
I use a lot of reds. Barn red is my favourite. Being a country quilter, it works!
I have been using a bright green for the past year. I love how it brightens up my quilts.
I use a lot of black. Not always a solid black. There is a Black batik I adore because it has some texture, but not enough that it shouts out that it is textured.
I use cream or black, though I used chocolate brown recently and loved it
I love black anc white but I use mostly blue.
It used to be white, but lately I’ve taken a “shine” to grey.
I seem to be using a lot of greens lately, and it wasn’t intentional! lol
LOL
I love blues – especially Navy. thank you!
Pretty quilts. I like to use off white and white a lot.
Wonderful projects.Green is my favorite but lately blue and white.Thanks
I use a lot of Kona snow solid in my quilts. It’s not bright white but a slightly duller white.
Solid? Wow, that’s as tough as choosing only one favorite this week. It’s rare for me to use a true solid what with the wealth of tones on tones, mottleds, and “read as solids” like batiks. My initial response was going to be black for what it does to other colors (POP!) but I’ll actually go with red. It’s always effective whether as a whisker-thin stripe on a black and white quilt or an in-your-face splash. I don’t often quote designers, but Bill Blass once said, “When in doubt, wear red.” I think it applies to quilts, too.
I think black is what I use most since I used it so much in bindings.
These quilt entries all showed great workmanship and wonderful colour choices. They were an inspiration for next winter–right now my thoughts are turned to spring! I love jewel tone colours and use them most often.
I use more grey and white than anything, because it can often make a nice background. I’m trying to be more adventurous though and use other colors for backgrounds sometimes.
I love all colours.
I use black a lot in my quilt. Sometimes as a background to batiks and hand dyed fabrics, and I use black for borders and bindings. That’s the one color that I run out of.
amazing quilts! I love blue,m my favorite colour. hugs
About the only solid I use is white…but i love using it! Thanks for the very generous giveaway!
Mostly dark blue.
My most used solid colors are all tones of white, thanks again for this give away
I usually use white or cream, but it really all depends on the pattern. Thanks so much!
My background fabric on sampler style quilts, in the past has been mainly beige tone on tone hues, but lately I have been drawn to solid white, and greys. Especially the gorgeous greys that are popping up. Thanks for a chance and good luck to all who entered quilts this week. I love them all!!!
I use a lot of cream colour background fabrics, mainly because I enjoy embroidering colourful designs on them to incorporate into my quilts.
I use a lot of light blue, for some reason it combines great with almost any other color :)
Kona charcoal and snow are my favorite colors.
I especially like January in upper michigan. Very unique work and I love this artist work.
I tend to use white or off-white in most of my quilts. Don’t really know why, however, white it is.
The quilt “January in Upper Michigan” is awesome!!!!!
There are so many talented quilters this month that I had a hard time just choosing 3 as each was simple beautiful in it’s right. Being a mid-Michigan girl I so can relate to “January In Upper Michigan”.
As for my answer about the solid color currently I’m stretching my color legs to get out of my comfort zone and have been working with yellows of late as I wasn’t sure if “Natural Muslin” would be considered to be a color.
Thank you for the chance to win such yummy fabric.
Sincerely,
Tricia
Since I am doing quilts specifically for other people…I have used their colors. But a quilt for me….blues. Love all the shades of blue.
Also wanted to say…..really, really hard to pick just 3.
I some how end up using most of off-white for a background fabric.
any shade of pinks ,love that color.
Lately I’ve been using Moda’s Porcelain, it doesn’t stand out as much as a white does. Otherwise it’s been a soft aqua, love that color!
Thanks for the chance to win!
im fairly new to quilting, so as yet my main solid color is white. it seems to go with everything no matter what.
I probably use a rich beige the most. This year, perhaps, I might attempt an entire quilt in solids.
I use a lot of red in my quilts. It was hard to choose the top 3 they are all great.
I use a lot of white…love the way it sets off bright colors. Love all the quilts.
I love all colors, hard to pick just one.
Such lovely quilts. Compliments to all participants.
I use off=white to beige for most backgrounds. Sounds boring, but I think it shows the patterns best.
I use a lot of PINK! Crazy, but I’m a pink lover. :)
