Kaffe Fasset Clouds
It’s actually Saturday, not Sunday for me. It’s raining. I shouldn’t even be posting, I need to be getting ready for our friends from Alaska to arrive. Four fun filled days of eating, drinking and cohabitating in my 700 square foot house with 5 other people.
It involves packing up the studio part of my “Livudio” (that’s what we call our living room/studio).
I’ve had some “drafts” for wedding quilts happening in the Livudio.
The Kaffe Fasset Clouds, and the Jewel tone Carolina Chambray above, I will make into a wedding quilt, perfect for their room. The idea came easy, and I’ve stuck with it. The design will be similar to this one last Fall, but the clouds will be center stage of the squares. Sashing will be the vibrant, rich red.
I’ve also been messing with some ideas for a wedding quilt that needs to be finished by Fall. Nothing is concrete yet, except for the colors. I went with blue, green and gray.
I’ve been very inspired by quilts with green lately, and gray is lovely in so much right now. Especially inspiring for me right now are this, this and this.
I’m big on just cutting, sewing and seeing what works. A million ideas go through my head before the final collimation of a quilt. I guess I’ve mostly always done what’s now called Improvisation quilting.
Here’s some peeks. Have a good weekend!
Oh it all looks so good! I too have always made quilts as I go along…improvisationally. I find that I love making the design process last as long as possible!
This post makes me want to make something with grey…
I love that Carolina Chambray, it is gorgeous – is it cotton? Do you know any online stockists who sell it? Can’t wait to see the finished quilt, it will be spectacular – lucky friends!
Your design wall is fab, I so need to organise myself one of those!
Great design wall. Can’t wait until I can finally organise one of those for me!
I love how it is coming together so far. Can’t wait to see more.
Have fun the next few days.
Wow you are talented. I am floored by the great colors and designs!
I usually buy it local at The Quilting Loft, but you can get it at Purl Soho too.
Your color choices are exceptional!! I’m working on quilt with brown linen sashing and seeing those Fasset “prints” I could kick my ass for not splurging the 23 Dollars a yard instead, they look incredibly yummy! Oh and if you still feel the need for a camera strap, I used this tutorial:http://madebypetchy.blogspot.com/2008/11/tutorial-camera-strap-slipcover.html
Your quilts are AMAZING. Thank you for so much for commenting on my post yesterday, and for introducing yourself, as I do believe I have just discovered a new favorite read. I’ll be back!
I want that owl print too from Pottery Barn, but…I have a boy and I can’t justify paying so much for fabric I might never need! Because of course I would cut it up. 🙂 I noticed you are from the Seattle area, I am from Poulsbo / Bainbridge Island, I grew up there but we are currently in Cleveland while my husband is in med school. I love the Seattle area, even though I’ve heard they’ve had less than spring break weather this week. Thanks for stopping by and saying hello! -Allison
