Potent Ansonia Quilt
Thursday, February 26, 2015
I used a fat eighth bundle each of Ansonia by Denyse Schmidt and Pretty Potent by Anna Maria Horner to make this Scrappy Trip Around the World.
I love how it's saturated with color, but in a rich almost vintage looking way. (I think putting these two designer's fabrics together would likely always have this effect!)
I'm also amazed how I've ended up making so many quilts with this pattern. I think at least half of it is that I like how they're constructed. Using 2.5" x 22" strips is just a convenient size. I can pull a fews fabrics off my shelf, cut a 2.5" strip off of each one, and I'm ready to sew!

Very cute! I have one of these going in Orange, navy, and turquoise but my boy keeps growing so it has to too! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm ready to start a color-saturated quilt as well. I've done the nautical and pastel and more subtle-colored quilts and was ready to use some deep colors. AMH was my designer of choice. I was surprised that it was a bit difficult to find the hues I wanted to use.
ReplyDeletePretty and bright!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the richness of this quilt. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSO gorgeous. I also love how rich and deep the colors are and how well these two collections work together ! brilliant !

Fabulous colours and a fabulous quilt.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, I love how it's the tones of the prints not the exact same prints that create the pattern and movement in the design.
ReplyDeleteWow! I love this one! I've been meaning to start a scrappy trip but so far other sewing has had priority.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteAnna Maria Horner posted your quilt on her Facebook page and said it was a gorgeous quilt from the talented maker Blue Elephant Stitches!

ReplyDeleteLove all the rich colour! I haven't tried a scrappy trip quilt yet ... might be a good excuse to use up a jelly roll I've been hoarding :)
ReplyDeleteThe two collections work really well together! I like seeing unique mash-ups like this.
