Topic: Getting Ready (1/2) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month creative journey with Becky Goldsmith as we bring you "Sizzle," a stunning quilt designed especially for TQS.

Each month we will provide photos, detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, and full-size patterns. Becky has also created a selection of "how-to" videos to guide you along the way.

Let's use this Topic "Sizzle Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful Sizzle Blocks. That way, you know where to come to see what everyone is doing.
The topics that apply to each month are a good place to ask questions or make suggestions for each block.
AND when you post your photos to Social Media, like Instagram, Facebook, etc., use either of these hash tags so everyone there will be able to find our wonderful work:

I call my colors "Fizzle" because the last thing they do is sizzle!

I have told myself that I may swap out the almost black fabrics for something that reads purple-ish-blue. I have to find the replacement first. The white and grays at the top of the photo are the background and I am really pleased I found these. They are Robert Kaufman Quilter's Linen 9864

bbquiltmaker OFFLINE Posts: 1498 Thank you received: 1762	Milababy, here is a blog I wrote on fabric selection. Towards the end I show my warm/cool combo. bbquiltmaker.blogspot.com/2018/12/sizzle-fabric-selection-and-preparation.html Now is a great time for folks to share their fabric selection if not using a Kit. Inquiring minds want to know.

milababy OFFLINE Posts: 6 Thank you received: 1	do you have a photo of your fabric choices? I like some of the colors in the warm way and some of the cool way. Just struggling with how to combine the 2 to look good. I am using my own fabrics most of my fabrics are batiks or southwest in nature. Any suggestions would help

ballardpf OFFLINE Posts: 1 Thank you received: 1	Wow I thought I was organized. I'm starting my folder and going to start picking fabrics. I'm think I'm going towards the cool palette but I'm gonna add a few pops of color - maybe purples...

bbquiltmaker OFFLINE Posts: 1498 Thank you received: 1762	Laurie, here are the solid fabrics used in the kits, Kaleidoscope by Andover: www.andoverfabrics.com/Grid.php?groupId=26284&GroupName=Kaleidoscope Iris is a deep dark blue, not black, I believe--someone with the Warm kit, please confirm. I am using a deep purple for my combo collection, some warm, some cool. I posted a photo of my Block 1 elsewhere in the Sizzlle Forum.

I've almost finished putting my warm palette together. I am just struggling a little with the fabric for the background, called Iris in the handout. Because my color are pretty identical to the warm kit, I wanted something pretty saturated for that section. I looked online to find some Andover Iris, but was not successful. I take from the photos that it's a pretty true black? And not dark navy blue?

bbquiltmaker OFFLINE Posts: 1498 Thank you received: 1762	Your fabrics look great. We keep everything about this quilt here on the Forum so everyone around the world can see them. Once you get the hang of how to add photos, it's not hard. I also check the Forum daily looking for questions I can answer to help people. Not everyone is on Facebook so it is best to make this our "go to" place. Welcome!
