In this session, F²F³, we have 9 members, and the swap will run from June 2018 to February 2019.
Each member gets three colours, plus a ‘background’ neutral of white or cream. Colour names may be as specific as you like, but you may not choose a Pantone reference or request a particular fabric.
Click on any image to enlarge for more details. Colour references will be updated as they become available. The names and colour selections for each month are:
June
Name: Lynn
Grey (light through to charcoal), beige tones and vintage rose pink as a highlight. Background to be cream (rather than white).
July
Name: Sue
Blues and white. Navy to cobalt to light blues plus white. If there are spots of other colors in the blue prints that will be okay
August
Name: Claire
I fancy something in turquoise, grey and black on white.
September
Name: Nanette
This quilt has the look and mix of blues I want, just with blush pink in there and no white/cream.
My colours are shades of blue, any, from light to dark to teal and aqua, with blush/dusky pink. Backgrounds are any blues too. A print that has small amounts of other colours in is fine, but not anything that overwhelms the blues and pinks. And I prefer not to have any modern/improv blocks please. I’d love some baskets, if anyone wants to do them – I’d love an appliqué block or two, but not to worry if you want to stay with pieced. Here’s my Pinterest board.

October
Name: Moira
I’m using this feather/egg fabric, and would like blocks featuring various shades of browns – assorted tans, golden browns, and dark browns. The print features eggs in a light grey blue, which is what I’d like to have for an accent color in the blocks. Background is cream, and I’m wanting a variety cream tonal fabrics.
November
Name: Robin
The cerise of the flower, the blue of the vase and a little orange. Background white if necessary
December
Name: Esther
I would love blocks in the colours of my plant pots from my garden:
Green: mint, yellow-green, brighter sage.
Blue: duck egg blue, vintage 50’s blue, pastelly blue-purple
Grey: medium warm grey
Any colour that lies in between these in the colour spectrum is perfectly fine too.
A sprinkling of white is OK too!
January
Name: Kathy
My colors are sky blue, a sort of cornflower blue, and gray: from silvery gray to as dark as charcoal, with white as my neutral. I don’t see having a dash of other colors in a print being an issue, but would prefer they be more on the cool side. I am seeing the sky blue, grays and white being the main focus with smaller bits of the darker blue. I made a Pinterest board with some photos, here’s the link. I will continue to try and add to it at least into the next week or so:

February
Name: Kate
Colours: Soft amethyst and slate, with white in the background if necessary. Please, no strong, bright purples, I’m after a vintage, dusty, faded effect. There can be touches of other colours – see featured fabrics.
