Four Winds

Here is my next quilt:  I's called The Four Winds by Jinny Beyer, Designer.  This will be for Doug and Gina.  Gina had told me long ago what colors she wanted in her quilt, and I have looked long and hard for a pattern that would "fit" them and have the correct colors, and I think I have found it in this quilt pattern.

My quilt will not look like this, exactly.  The kit is not available anymore, and I have purchased the fabrics piecemeal or used some in my stash.  But the colors will be similar and the pattern the same.  I have all the fabric I need now, my last piece came yesterday.  Here is MY fabric palette:

My Fabrics for my Four Winds Quilt

Some of these ARE from the original Jinny Beyer Kashmir collection, the border fabric, the "white-ish" fabric on the right, and the "teal w/black print".  But most are fabrics that I chose because I think will look well in the quilt.  I'm not always the best at judging how things will look in the long run.  More like, "Oh, this is a pretty fabric, let's use it!"  The A block fabrics are on the left, B blocks are on the right.  I'm hoping this will turn out as beautiful as it looks in the top picture.  Wish me well!

So!  I can start cutting anytime!  This is always an exciting moment, the START!  Makes me a little nervous to cut the border fabric.... I have 7.5 yard, but there is no room for error.  The fabric is printed with exactly a half inch between the border strips, and I need 4 strips that are 98 inches long.  That's tricky!  But I'm anxious to get started, so away I go!
