Thanks to all of you who made my Monday with Blank Fabrics a very popular blog post. I teach my Magical Mitering lesson all the time with many happy students! Today I share a 6 block quilt made with the Noblesse Collection in the cream colorway.
The fabric does all the work. And I didn't bother to fussy cut the flowers; I just let my rotary cutter made that decision for me (and I also didn't have more than 1/2 yard!). How did I make this, you may be wondering? Well, I shared it all in last Monday's post and you can find it
HERE. This version uses strips around all 4 sides of the center square, instead of only two sides for an Attic Window. This really has a graphic counterpoint to the curves of the flowers. I only had 3 fabrics for each of the two colorways. I used the other two in the border; simple rectangles for a border.
If you have read this far, then I want to let you know that on WEDNESDAY I am sharing another quilt with another fabric partner and I have A GIVEAWAY! 7 fat quarters of just released fabrics. So, make sure you come back to see what's happening.
Next Monday I will share the pattern for this quilt using the Savoy Collection by Blank Fabrics. So, for now, just enjoy this wonderful eye candy!

I was asked to sew for one of my fabric partners,
Blank Quilting,
using their brand new Savoy Collection. It has a distinct French
connection and the timeless colors of yellow and blue. I love, love,
love it! Diana Mancini (Marketing Director) had seen one of my fleur de
lis patterns and asked if I could create a unique quilt with these
floral prints. As you can see, I did. Here are some of the ensemble
items I created for her to use at Spring Market 2012. And then at the
bottom of this blog posting, you will see the quilt with the final
borders.

| Apron, pattern by Cindy Taylor Oates |
I have this pattern by Cindy and have used it many
times. She has several versions of both a full and half apron. While I
don't wear aprons, I should!

| Kitchey items, just because I could! |
Bought a basket at Michael's, discarded the fabric
liner and made one with Savoy's blue/blue print. Made several quick
tissue holders, covered a large circular button (using hot glue, natch),
even covered an oatmeal box with fabric for a pencil holder. I used a
cheesecloth dishtowel with a VERY wide binding and that is my
tablecloth.

I absolutely love the Savoy prints. I found a red also and it is wonderful. Just need to start my stash again..
