Whenever I start on a new pattern, the first thing I do, after finalizing the design, is figure out the color palette for the cover quilt. For All Spruced Up, I ended up making 12 different mock ups. Making that many is not the norm. There were just so many holiday color palettes that I thought looked great with this pattern. This was one of them!
I honestly wanted to make this the cover quilt, but decided to go a more universally appealing direction. You can see that at the end of this post! And I'm not usually a fan of this shade of purple, but it combined with the other colors in the quilt? Funky, retro Christmas perfection 👌🏻
I loved how it turned out so much that I decided there's gotta be at least 8 other people who would want to make it too 😉 Grab your retro All Spruced Up quilt kit HERE!
The names of the Kona solids I used in this version are:
Colors 1 - 4 = Aqua, Pansy, Lipstick, and Primrose
Color 5 = Gold
Colors 6 + 7 = Snow
Color 8 = Crismon
