I was a little worried that some of the white backgrounds were more cream or ecru, but decided to just go for it.
Thanks for stopping by!

Easy Street part 1
This is my progress so far on Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt "East Street." Last year's mystery, "Orca Bay" was my first and it was so exciting and easy to stay on track. It was not the type of quilt I would have attempted had I seen the whole thing from the beginning, but its broken up into steps, making it more manageable. The top was finished really quickly, and as with most of my quilts, it hangs in the guest bedroom closet waiting to be quilted. I have really been looking forward to this one. So far, it kinda reminds me of a newspaper.
Here are my 2-patches. By the time I finished the 4-patches, the light wasn't so great for a pict, but you get the idea.

Looks like you're off to a great start. I think your creams or ecrus will be just fine. I sure hope so, as I did the same thing, lol.
ReplyDeleteThose look great! I especially like the daisy print.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI had the same thing with my backgrounds. Some of them were close to white but actually more cream. But I liked them and I wanted the variety, so I kept them in. I think it will look fine.
