Have you noticed the amount of color blocking this year? Here is a cute patchwork coat video. How easy would that be to accomplish? The fun part going through the remnants. I have been doing just that but my linen, linen/cotton remnants are not in fun colors. More like blues and grays which is what I wear a lot of. Here is an blog post on color blocking at Deer and Doe. Here is a pinterest board with tons of color blocking inspiration. Here is an example of a shirt:
This is a Lafayette 148 New York Striped Colorblock Button Down Shirt. Price tag: $798.00. Details can be found on the Neiman Marcus website.
The price on the shirt seems like a lot. If it was just left over pieces of fabric pieced together. It would be essentially free, right? I suppose you actually have spent money on the fabric and you should use every little bit that you can possibly use.
I have actually been going through my remnants/scrap fabric. I intend to make a scrappy quilt but I also have many pieces of linen/cotton or just linen. I may try to figure something out because why not. A scrappy top could be fun. Add a bit of embroidery or other embellishment for some fun.
Have you given any thought to the color blocking trend? Remember to check out quilting sites/blogs for additional information on putting colors together.
Happy Stitching!
