blogger bundles

If you haven't already checked it out, Alyce over at Blossom Heart Quilts is hosting a blogger bundle competition with Randi at Fresh Squeezed Fabrics .  I think these kinds of competitions are SO MUCH FUN.  As much as I enjoy all aspects (or at least most aspects) of making a quilt, picking out fabrics is definitely the best part. I wanted to make a mosaic using some of my favorite prints right now.  I knew that I wanted to use the Cosmo Cricket text print ; I love that it has all of these positive words and phrases and it is such a pretty shade of pink.  I also wanted to use an Oh Deer print (because it is so cute!), this Madrona Road print (which I love but I haven't been able to justify buying), and then some coordinating prints and a  solid .

But despite being a little nervous about using them, I am so pleased with how the quilt turned out! I ended up omitting the pink circle fabric from the bundle because I wanted something with a little more orange to it, so I subbed in Kona Mango.  I also added a black Art Gallery triangle print that I had in my stash. These are 60 degree chevrons and I quilted it with a random 60 degree grid.   I was happy to find this Katarina Roccella print in my stash for the backing and I used more of the black triangle print for the binding.  I stitched the binding down with Perle cotton. This quilt is now listed in my Etsy s...

And, last but not least, FabricCadabra is having a sale starting today for 15% off all bundles using code BONANZA15.   There are some very tempting options. . .
