Celtic Solstice Part One

I decided to go with Bonnie's colors, only for the background I'm using medium grays.  It got the husband vote over whites and creams.  All cut out here, not a super amount of variety, but it'll still be scrappy and who knows, I may pick up more fabrics as I go along.  I just realized, I went to scraps first, but I passed by my 1/4 to 1/2 yard pieces, there could be some treasures in there, lol. 

My first twenty done, I still have some work ahead of me.  The little tool is what I'm using instead of my iron.  Bonnie is finger pressing, and this is my version.  I did use an inexpensive little wallpaper tool that I got at Home Depot, and it worked, but I was amazed how much better this works.  Wish I could remember where I purchased it, but I know it was online.  Thank you to Bonnie for another fun mystery, I'm loving it so far.

This is going to be a very dramatic quilt I think. It will be fun to see how it turns out as you go along. I have one of those tools too, it's brilliant for paper piecing as well.

I am loving the way those large flowers are peeking out on the orange fabric! This is going to look great!

Your quilt will be amazing with those bright dramatic colors. I think your husband has a good eye!! Great idea for using the little wallpaper tool. I'm using a wooden handle sanded down to imitate those wooden iron sticks.

Love your block units. Grey is a great idea!
