Two of a Kind Color Option

African Inspired
Quilt tester: Laura Boehnke
From American Patchwork and Quilting, April 2008

Quilt tester Laura Boehnke stacked the deck for an altogether different “Two of a Kind.”

“The border print was my inspiration print to create this wall hanging,” Laura says. “Often, when I’m trying to decide on a color palette or mood for my quilts, I work from the outside in and begin by selecting a border fabric.

“The occasional bright square in the quilt center adds just the right splash of color overall.”
Fabrics are from Drums of Afrika by Sonie Ruffin, and Paint Box I and Paint Box II by Lonni Rossi, all from Andover Fabrics.
