Starting Solids - a mosaic of inpiring quilts
Originally uploaded by Bellgirl

I'm planning to make a quilt using mainly solids. It will be for the living room couch, so I don't want anything too bedroomy. I've chosen a palette of inky blue, rusty browns, tea stains and bricky red.

I'm new to quilting, and although I love the look of the improvised quilts, I'm not sure how to get started.

For this quilt I'd probably prefer a pattern, some sort of random squares. Can anyone suggest a pattern?

My colour inspiration comes from this mosaic of Marrakesh by J. Ruchel.
