Color, Color, Color...

Issue 7 of the e-magazine, Fat Quarterly hit the web today! It's all about color ~ my favorite topic when it comes to quilting. I worked in a quilt shop for 8 years just to play with color and fabric!


I was very excited to participate in their color challenge. We were given a fabric to work with and asked to design a block, adding fabrics from various lines to compliment it. You know I love mixing different lines so this was right up my alley!

We started with the center print below ~ it's from the line "Too Muchery". I created the block based on a tile design I'd seen. It uses a partial seam technique which is super easy once you know how to do it. There are full instructions in the magazine for the block.
Also included is a table topper using 9 blocks and sashing.
Issue 7 is full of info about using color, mixing color and more. There are lots of great patterns and ideas. Also included are coupons from some of your favorite online fabric stores. So if you're buying fabric, the issue almost pays for itself!

You can't go wrong with those quilting basics when buying. I was quickly able to pull this color combo from my stash. Can't wait to show you the modern, masculine quilt I'm making with these and a dark gray background.
Color, color, color...
