Nice blocks!
ReplyDeleteLove the blocks, but I can't get the links to work, they say not found....help please. Thanks Judy
ReplyDeleteFixed the links (I hope)
ReplyDeleteOh my! I feel very humbled that you have chosen to feature my blocks on your blog.......I now have the sashing fabric, but will have to wait for my days off before I can turn these blocks into a flimsy.....I have thoroughly enjoyed this 'Westering' journey and I fell in love with that fabric line......the larger florals are pure gorgeousness.....the backing will feature a couple of the colourways of those florals.......thankyou again for all that you do to inspire us.....
ReplyDeleteThank you for the recap. Nice to have a BOM I can keep up with.

My cousin is getting married. I asked her to pick from three fabric lines and her choice was the Cambridge!! In trying to find more of the fabric selection, I found this! I had a quilt pattern that she had picked out about a year ago BUT I am loving this! But she picked the other out so I am torn. I noticed there is a very light colored one but that does not seem to be in the fabric line...what did you use? I am having a hard time selecting one that goes with the flow of the colors of the Cambridge. Even if I do not use this quilt I will need some for the other pattern.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
I plan on spending some time here reading it all and have shared it with others.
SBM The big problem with using one line of fabric is the lack of range ---The collection tends towards dark or light. Paste this URL in your browser search box.

It's a link to a blog I do for the Fat Quarter Shop about repro fabrics. This one on shirting should give you lots of ideas for lights.
Dear Barbara,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your rapid response. Those do give me ideas as to what to work with for the quilt.
When you ask a non-quilter about what they like it is always fun to see what they pick and how it mixes!
Take care!
