I saw your Boho quilt yesterday and ordered material for the top first thing this morning. I also absolutely adore what you did with the Posy line. I like the fact that you aren't afraid of triangles. Keep those fabulous recipes coming, please.
I have just finished all the blocks for the Boho honeycomb quilt, but I am not sure how to start putting it together - are the rows done diagonally, or up, or down? And should I be using a block with 2 triangles, or just 1? If I can get a lead on that, I will be fine. I absolutely loved making the blocks. Thanks for the tutorial.
Jenelle over at Echinops and Aster posted today about a curated collection competition going on over at Sew Lux . Putting together mosaics is the perfect thing to do during my kids' naps (and they actually napped today!) so I couldn't resist. I am normally a fan of cooler colors, but I love all of these prints and the chilly weather has definitely drawn me to these autumn colors. I am going to call my mosaic Autumn Evenings. If you haven't already checked out the competition, you can find the details and linkup here !
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 . I am calling my mosaic Sunshine Road because I love all of the happy colors and words. I am trying to focus more on the positive things in life and this group of fabrics feels very positive to me :)
FabricCadabra is now offering a custom fabric bundle that I put together for my Inspiration Mosaics last month. It is called the Bonanza Bundle and you can find it here . This bundle uses some of my favorite prints from this year and not only looks pretty great together, but most of the prints are versatile basics too. I also wanted to point you over to Sew Take a Hike where FabricCadabra is giving away a bundle of Melody Miller's amazing collection Mustang. 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. . .

ReplyDeleteI tend to always use white backgrounds but I LOVE the brown in this quilt. It's so lovely!
ReplyDeleteSo excited! My Boho top materials came today! Maybe the top will be together by the time yardage becomes available.
