Yep, I started a new quilt. And it's big, as usual. I have wanted to make a large New Wave quilt for years and use prints instead of a neutral for sashing. I know I am a bit behind - the New Wave pattern is so 2011 so I guess you can probably expect a Swoon or Scrappy Trip quilt from me in 2016......
I dug into my Amy Butler Lark collection and added a little Cameo and Notting Hill for the wedges. For sashing, I am using stash basics and blenders- working hard to show contrast between the busy fabrics. Everything is cut and now I am really enjoying having an excuse to spend lots of time at the sewing machine.
I have also decided to participate in the Allison Glass Feathers QAL. It is a paper piecing pattern and I am going to use this Sunrise bundle I received for Christmas. I have a Groupon to a local store that carries every Kona color - so I have a lot of options for sashing color. Do you have any opinions? I am leaning towards Pepper (almost black) or a really dark blue (Nightfall?) - I know I want something dark so that all of the colors really stand out.

That is going to be one gorgeous quilt!!!!
Lovely fabrics! My latest favorite seems to be the night fall color. I do have some pepper in my stash and do like that too.
Lovely bundle of Sunrise! I would go with a gray. Happy New Year!
I like the idea of a dark navy for the background. Can't wait to see that quilt progress.
