At our quilt show last year Vicki McCormick entered a quilt called Ohmigosh. I was white gloving near her quilt and spent a good bit of time admiring it. For some reason I decided I wanted to try to make the same pattern. Vicki's was done scrappy and was just lovely. I thought I'd try to do my version in a more controlled color palette. I had been reading Joen Wolfrom's book on color and liked a color wheel she featured that had yellow, magenta and turquoise as the primary colors instead of the red, blue and yellow we're used to seeing.
The quilt consists of 2 blocks which finish at 4.5": A double nine-patch
and a shoo-fly block:
Most of it was strip piecing using 1" wide strips. I used triangles on a roll for the half-square triangles.
After working on and off for over a year I finally got the blocks sewn together.
Now I need to decide on the border. The pattern calls for an inner border of about 1", a middle border of about 3/4" and an outer border of 4". In keeping with the established color scheme I auditioned a blue and magenta border combination
a blue and yellow border
a magenta and blue border
and a magenta and yellow border.
I'm open to other suggestions! I need to get this one finished and off the design wall!
