I got a really great quilting book that most of you that are into this sort of thing have probably already read about elsewhere, Modern Log Cabin Quilting. Let me reiterate, it’s wonderful, full of seriously beautiful quilts, simple and perfect. My favourite one is purple and blue and it’s SO gorgeous that it makes me actually like purple. And blue.
Here is a partial pile of fabric I have saved for a future log cabin quilt I’ve been dreaming about. You know yellow is my favourite colour.
I can’t remember what all is in this pile, some Jay McCarroll, Tula Pink, Kate Spain, Lizzie House…it’s all from The Workroom, for sure. Gorgeous, huh? Initially I wanted an ALL yellow log cabin (with purple centre squares), but the McCarroll fabrics changed my mind and now I’m adding light turquoise and pink too. Oh, man. LOOK at that paint splattery fabric, it’s stunning!! I got another bundle of fabrics in the mail yesterday, 12 fat quarters plus a full yard of yellow. So, I think I have that end of things covered. Now to find more purples and accents!
(Also, because my fabric stash is starting to look a bit overwhelming, I’d like to do a fabric swap with like minded friends, if anyone is interested, lemme know!)
DELICIOUS fabrics.
I too am a lover of the yellow! I especially love that variation of lattice print, second from the right, and the one with the gold lines across the (white?) ground. Not sure I have enough fabric to swap, but I would have some lovely Malabrigo I’d be happy to trade. Let me know.
Yellow is just such a happy colour. I can’t trade any of these yellows, but I can figure out the designer of that one and you can order mountains of it on Etsy.
Yellow bricks are Central Park by Kate Spain!
