UPDATE BELOW with PIC-

Hi Cuties! My husband, as I’ve stated before, helps me with my rotary cutting by holding my rulers to not slip. We were making precuts the other day and he said he would like me to make one of his cousins a quilt. 😳 That took me by surprise but I was willing. I told him I don’t know what colors he & his wife like though. Then of course my husband says that color doesn’t matter 😳 just make it out of this we’ve been cutting!
I told him well first of all, some fabrics, not a lot though are for children so I can’t put that in. Then some just clash. He didn’t understand that at all- lol-
Also he has watched You Tube with me before on regular 60 in TV and has remarked ‘they’ in this case meaning Jenny Doan, use too much white in their quilts. I explained you have to have a one color or reads as one color background fabric, to distinguish your blocks or else everything just runs together. He then says it still doesn’t have to be white all the time. Well, I can’t argue about that because I have seen pretty quilts with backgrounds of other colors such as soft yellows, off whites, light blue, etc. However I did tell him white seems to make the other colors in blocks stand out against the bright white crispness. I also told him I’d have to use white in this quilt.
This is a pattern off You Tube called Prairie Flowers, by Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Company. When we decided this was the one , I thought, I think I have it in one of my Block books from there. So I looked and I did!
It went really fast as it’s a large block, 13 1/2 inches all squared up. I’m sure you notice the odd block in the bottom center. It was one of the first blocks I tried using the pattern. I didn’t want to waste it so I included it. Also, It shows hubby that you need colors to contact not blend with a background or clash ( like here).
When I started pulling my 10 inch squares out of our precuts, I saw most of them were going to be dark and needed a medium contrast. The odd block (bottom center) has pink, that is used in a few other blocks but I believe it worked, because they had darker colors to contrast. The odd block colors match but using them together here does not work.
I don’t think I will remove, rip, un-sew, replace the block but hopefully he understands better about color.
You gonna laugh. All day yesterday we watched Elenore Burns from Quilts in A Day on You Tube until I ( underline I ) lol- was tired of watching-lol Everytime I asked him if he wanted me to change the video, he said no, that’s ok. He would make comments too so I thought….what if he decides he wants to try sewing!😳😉oh NO!!!!-😂🤣lol
So it is made entirely from fabrics on hand, didn’t have to go out and buy anything for the top. Size 89 x 104 inches. I will have to get backing fabric and I have batting. Not as pretty as Jenny used, but this top was ‘free’ scraps, except for white and I don’t own my own fabric shop like her!-lol
Hope all of you are well. Have a nice day!❤️Toogie

UPDATE- I finally felt better enough to quilt this! It may sound silly but I had tears, because I was so glad to be at the machine again.
Besides my meandering or stippling the only thing I did different was stitch a curved diamond in the center white square. It hardly shows though. We may give it to them today.
It looks faded in the bright sunlight.😜 so here is another picture on my quest room, queen bed.
