I wasn't sure if I was going to like my choice of cheddar, so what I've done is put it up on the design wall to see if I could live with it. I believe I like it. I have had it up there for a couple of days now and I think I'll start sewing on it.
But not tonight (Sunday), Downton Abby is on and I have been waiting for season 3 to start. And nothing can interfere with watching.
UPDATE 1-23-13
IT'S Done
I have started keeping better tally of my stash so now that it is a new year, I think I have a grasp on how to do it now. I wasn't very good at it the last year.
I've used 3 3/4 yards. and did buy 2 yards.
So that makes me 1 3/4 yards to the good.
I think I'm off to a good start

With a mystery quilt it's a surprise to see how everything goes together at the end. I think yours looks bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteLove your colors. Your quilt is going to look great!
ReplyDeleteGreat color choices!!
ReplyDeleteI love your cheddar on your Easy Street!! It makes the whites really pop, and it's going to look fantastic in that design. Can't wait to see it all together. :)
ReplyDeleteThe mystery quilt with your color choices looks great. The subtle gray and white fabrics really makes that blue POP!!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are great!!!
ReplyDeleteEvery one of these Easy Street quilts looks so different. And I haven't seen one I don't like. Your's appears darker and more Fall like: my colors.
ReplyDeleteYes! The cheddar is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are great! And I agree with the DA Season 3 watch - nothing can interfere with that, not even quilting LOL
ReplyDeleteYou may have just convinced me that chedder is actually a color I could use. I have never liked it until today. I love your use of it. Great job!
ReplyDeletelooking good!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors, a very Southwest feel.

ReplyDeleteI had to click on your link the moment I saw it! The colors just called to me. The whole color combination is awesome. I love them all. I am a cheddar lover myself and I think it is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love your colours and am glad you like it too. I haven't seen DA yet but have season 1 on layby at the shop!
ReplyDeleteYour color choices make a lovely version of Easy Street.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your fabric choices! I was too chicken to go with other colors, since this was my first mystery, but I MAY have to make another one and pick my own colors!! Can't wait to see your quilt finished!
ReplyDeleteWow! The pop of color is absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove the Cheddar. Really good choice.
ReplyDeleteGreat colour choices!

ReplyDeleteIt looks so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße Grit from Germany
That color combo is wonderful! Bonnie will love it with the cheddar! Thanks for visiting my blog and for your kind words! Can't wait to see your quilt completed!
ReplyDeletei LOVE the cheddar. There are a lot of Easy Street quilts in blogland, but I love the ones with the alternative color combinations best.
ReplyDeleteLove your color choices. I was boring and went along with suggested colors. I am thinking of doing it again with fall color scheme. I really like yours.
ReplyDeleteOh I really like your color choices! I just might have to make one like this!
ReplyDeleteKat, I LOVE your colors! I couldn't wait to see yours once I saw what you had pulled to use. It is absolutely striking and gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love your creamy background -- I fear mine is going to be too dark!
ReplyDeleteI love the brown color you are using. I stick mine to green.
ReplyDeleteI really like it!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the different colors we are all playing with. I love orange so I just love yours.
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed at how different a quilt can look by just changing the fabrics. The blue you chose looks very nice with the cheddar blocks.
ReplyDeleteI like your color choices and placements very much. Is the gray a solid, or is it that it reads as a solid in the pictures? Very Nice!
ReplyDeleteI have a "GASP" on my fabric stash too!! I love the typo. Not making fun of you. I think it is a good description and I can relate. I love your colors in this quilt.
ReplyDeleteI like it! It looks great!
ReplyDeletemmmm yes- those colors will definitly work!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely choice of colours, definately works for me.
ReplyDeleteKat, love your choices of colors ...I found this mystery very easy to do and so much fun. Can't wait for next year :)
ReplyDeleteThe cheddar is so refreshing in your quilt, stunning color combinations, (I'm still piecing my cheddar leaders & enders bow ties while piecing the triangle units - love that cheddar ;-)
ReplyDeleteCan hardly wait to see it finished!
