To decide what I want to do I look at examples in my books and on-line. I study their characteristics, variations and use of color. The bars design seems to always have an uneven number of strips.
I used five colors of solid cotton. The little corner squares are a slightly brighter purple. The vertical strips finish at 2".
Here are a few vintage bed size examples from the collection at the IQSC

| Triple bars |
And some variations making use of small leftovers:
Inspired to work with solids in the Amish look?
Type "Amish" in your search to see 340 examples!
I love the simple, clean lines of these quilts, but I equate them with amazing hand quilting. I already have a couple of quilts in line for my amazingly slow hand quilting. I can't do that to myself. : )
ReplyDeleteI love amish quilts and are very much inspired by them
ReplyDeleteI need to start collecting solids to make a few.
ah yes making doll quilts isn't it fun?
I loving making them just for that reason to have a finish and enjoy using them thru out my home AND my wall of little quilts....nice to be able to switch some of them out once in a while.
thanks for sharing.

I like the fabrics you chose. And the examples... it goes on and on, doesn't it? Are you planning to make a "coins" style like the last two examples? All so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHi Jean- thanks for stopping by my blog... somehow I missed your post on the long skinny points in your triangle border. These simple bars quilts are a relaxing change from those pesky templates! But it's all looking good!
