50 Shades of Brown from Humble Quilts

Jo Morton finished last years quiltalong, 50 Shades of Brown, and shared a photo. Soooo darling!

I love seeing your quiltalongs even if it is later than when we did it online.

And here's a bit of brown in my neighborhood this week,

And maybe Mrs Buck chilling nearby Mr.

Here's a bit of pink with some brown. This guy is sooooo stinky, but so cute! He runs to the fence to visit when we are taking our walk.

We have an employee out on vacation so I'm working for ...

50 Shades of Brown Linky Party! from Humble Quilts

I am so thrilled to see so many of you sewing along making this little quilt! I thought it may be too simple, but maybe that is what we needed this year. Thank you so all so much!

My inspiration is Central Oregon in late summer.

Now it's time to share your quilts with me and each other!

50 Shades of Brown Finale from Humble Quilts

Here is my finished top! I used 4 different directional fabrics for the border!

Fun and humble!

My border is cut 2 1/2" wide. Depending on how you want to add your border, you'll need to figure out the length for your quilt.

I lightened this up so you could see the quilting.

The top border has unmarked diagonal lines. The left border has the same unmarked lines going in a different direction then the top.

The right border I quilted straight lines across the little "arrows" randomly spaced apart.

The bottom has quilting lines going across from ...

50 Shades of Brown part 2 from Humble Quilts

Now cut 18 2 1/2" brown squares using various shades and prints of brown. The original little quilt has quite a bit of striped and one way fabric in it.

I layed mine out somewhat like the original, having the 2 pink blocks near each other and the blue off by itself. There was no rhyme or reason/light and dark on the layout. It was super scrappy and humble!

Then piece the top together. I don't have a photo without the border. But this layout is how I piece most of my quilts.

What makes this quilt ...

50 Shades of Brown Part 1 from Humble Quilts

Good morning! I had such a wonderful week away!! 26+ miles backpacking, then 3 days in a cute little cabin with my honey to recover and be ready to get back to work. It was pretty amazing!! I'll share a few photos on Wednesday.

For now, we are going to make 4 patches for 50 Shades of Brown.

I told you there was a smidge of pink and blue. This is what is in my quilt. I did NOT strip piece these because I want a big variety. These are 1 1/2" squares. If you want it like ...

50 Shades of Brown Quiltalong from Humble Quilts

If you would like to sewalong here's a sampling of the various shades of browns I used. The quilt is going to measure approx 14"x18" so it's likely you really won't need 50!! LOL

If you watched the video from last Friday you know I mentioned a teeny bit of pink (4- 1 1/2" squares) and a teeny bit of blue (2- 1 1/2" squares)

You'll be surprised at how many different shades of brown there is. Some are tinted with yellow, some are a bit more red. If you lay them out ...
