Sunday Stash: More Spoonflower fabrics

15 Replies

I have always had a love for the work of the independent designers over at Spoonflower. The fabrics are always unique and are well printed on Kona Cotton (my selection).

This week I picked up some new fabric in which I want to make pillows from. I love the reds and the grunge look of the print. The designer is Holli Zollinger, collection Coral Summer.

I have already started using this math fabric in my blocks as a low-volume print. I love this fabric and representation of my STEM background. The designer is Berene Campbell, collection Text Fabrics.SundayStash_Spoonflower_Math

Which is your favorite fabric or designer @ Spoonflower.com??

17 Replies

I have started, on the second quilt, I am making for my friends children (the 1st one being the Pushme, Pullme Quilt). As mentioned, in my last post I have fallen in love with the X & + Block. These will be blocks in the new quilt – colors being blues, greens, reds, oranges and yellows.  Xand+Blocks_Quilt2

My goal for ” A lovely year of Finishes” in December is to have 4 rows of the individual blocks sewn up (the quilt will have a 6 x 8 block format).

Alyce over @ Wonderland by Alyce was the Scrap-bee-licious Queen bee this month. She requested 12 inch X & + blocks with a specific color palette. This was my first time making X & + blocks….I know shocking!!

Here are my two finished blocks:
