Alll of that new fabric has been washed and put away now, all that's left behind is a big ol' tangle of cut off thread tangles and lots of new projects to do.
It was a lot to put away, but I did take some more pictures of fabric groupings, etc. This is mostly just for reference for future projects.
I was looking more closely at some of the
Tilda fabric that I'd purchased. This was a fat quarter which I hadn't unrolled in the store as it was tied. What is it about this designer that I like so much? I think it's the color palette as well as the combination of stylized yet not too abstracted flower forms with backgrounds like these polka dots. The dots are not just an impartial regimented background though, the placement of individual dots follow the shapes of the flowers instead of being in a grid.
Same idea here with the background of various sizes of ovals. and dots. This way of doing a background subtly emphasizes and also integrates the foreground figures. This is a lovely color palette as well.
gotten on a whim at the beginning of the year.
I
saw a quilt at the San Mateo County Fair that used them in
a lantern pattern, which was great, but I want to do something different. Maybe something like this big
flower block pattern, so I can fussy cut the figures on the Bloomsville fabrics to be centered in the flower centers.
These are the group of proposed Medallion Quilt fabrics, with the "focus fabric" or maybe "instigating or inspiring" fabric there at the top. I've been wanting to make a medallion type of quilt for a while and
SBAMQ just held a class that I almost signed up for as well. It's been
fun to see what
people in the class have come up with. I want to try to design one on EQ8, perhaps as a starting point, but maybe it would just help me improvise.
And finally a group picture of the embroidery threads that I bought. They don't really go together do they? Well, they're really for filling in the empty spots in my available color wheel.
