I really love to quilt. I have been sewing dresses and it is really not as much fun as quilting is. There is a new quilt shop near me that had a grand opening last week and I went and loved it! There were so many pretty fabrics - very bright colors. I was really good and did not buy anything, mostly because they did not have any pre-cuts, and you can always find something to do with those. But here are two pictures of the fun fabric that they had in the shop.
I love the top fabrics the best - I am looking through all of my quilt patterns to see if I have one that would be perfect for this fabric. I do like the pink ones, but with the lack of girls in my house another pink quilt is just not really an option. After I left there I was motivated to get some quilting done. So I got out my precut I had ordered a while ago - at 50% off! This fabric line is Sugar Pop.
I just love the bright colors in it. I had to buy a little bit extra to use for borders, but I am making a simple table topper with this fabric. I hope that it will bring a little bit of color into my kitchen and dining room.
It was so easy to put together, and I even have it up on the frame to quilt, and I hope to have it done by this weekend. Conan says it looks like the 70's. I don't mind, I like it. I am thinking about binding it in the orange, brown, or pink - not sure yet, but I need something that will stand out from the green. What do you think would look the best?
And here is a close up of the table topper. Don't those colors just make you feel like spring? I am almost done with another quilt that I just took off the frame - just need to finish the binding.
This will look great on your table, its great!
ReplyDeleteI think pink binding, it will contrast the green border but compliment the pink flowers in the border fabric.
