So, it’s been a busy last couple of weeks and disappointingly I haven’t been able to work on my quilts much. As a result – I haven’t been able to blog at all. First it was a week long trip to San Francisco for work. Then it was Thanksgiving and a 3-day weekend cruise to…
So, I’m realizing that there’s something about me and black in quilts. Even when I do baby quilts – they tend to have a little black in them (or a lot). It’s not intentional. I guess that’s just what I’m drawn to. Especially when it is paired with bright rich contrasting colors. Ooooh! So, I…

Hello Erin, I don’t think I’ve seen the Botany line yet. I’ll have to look it up! What I like so much about Flora & Fauna is that it is so bright and engaging. I LOVE bright and engaging.

I adore these – reminds me of the new Botany line from… um… that mother/daughter team whose names escape me at the moment. 
That’s awesome Kris! Thanks so much for letting me know. Oh, and I love the Jungle Quilt on your blog!
I’m excited about that line too! I think Hawthorne Fabrics already has it in if you want to buy some and they have great prices!

I’d love to see this when you finish. Not that you are asking, but if it were me I would bind it in pink. It would look amazing plus your boyfriend might be deterred from stealing it!
I like it.
Your quilt is BEAUTIFUL! I like the name too!! I am “holding on to summer” as well.
Thanks everyone! Ivy – yes I thought of this fabric when I saw your quilt! Alissa – I do plan on bringing my WIP! Leslie – thanks for the compliments! Chancy – thanks!
That quilt is looking so great! I love the modern color combo.
this is fantastic. i love this line of fabric. you make such amazing quilts
Oh it’s looking so good!! maybe you can get the blocks sewn together this weekend and bring it for show & tell??
I love the way the grey works in this. I had thought about sashing my yellow-and-black Mod Sampler with grey, but I couldn’t pull it off. Yours looks great here!
