So it's been a while since I've posted on here, not many excuses for it. There've been a few life changes in the last 5 months, but I'll get into that in later posts. You've noticed the title for this post is Low Volume & High Volume, so I'm sure you're wondering what that's all about? Last February at quilt retreat I finished a quilt top in Low Volume fabrics. I put it off to the side for months to work on other projects and then finally decided how I wanted to finish the quilt. For those of you who don't know, Low Volume quilts are prints that, basically, don't stand out. Typically a white background with a lightly colored design. These are the fabrics you might use as a background for blocks. We'll here's my first one. I was inspired by a super cute Art Gallery Fabric from the Indian Summer line, white background with a light grey print of animals on it (it's got super cute owls!! : ) Anyway, because the
front is so very neutral, I wanted the back to really stand out. I love that part about quilts. If you don't love one side of the quilt, there is always another side you can look at. Well I choose a bright Kaffe Fassett print with a jewel-tone purple as the binding. I know some of you might be cringing looking at it, but hey, it's my quilt and I love it to pieces! Hope your Summer's been amazing! Mine....we'll let's just say I could use this quilt right about now and be pretty comfortable.
