I always anticipate Erin McMorris’s new lines.  Her first line Park Slope still lingers in some of my projects and in my mind her way with flowers is her signature on the fabric world.

When ordering some basics the other day from Quilt Sandwich’s stocked sale section I asked Becca if they had the Astrid line in yet and was so pleased to hear it had just arrived.

sewkatiedid/erin mcmorris astridAstrid, steps Erin’s flowers out from their usual whimsical theme to the modern.

I also tend to be drawn to the same color palette that Erin’s fabric lines have and Astrid has done it again.  I want every color of the whole line, but stopped with the basics.

sewkatiedid/erin mcmorrisThis line works so well together with a solid or two.  Generally most fabric lines most fabric lines don’t mingle together without a flat effect, but Erin’s got you covered on all the color values you need for a successful project whether it be patchwork or apparel.

I had a little left over modern crazy piecing so I went to work making an Ipad case and Astrid worked itself in perfectly.  I’d love to see the hourglass print reproduced on a mini scale and a million colors.

Thanks Quilt Sandwich!

Off to teach.  Have a great Sunday!

    I’m always on the lookout for interesting graphic prints for my quilt backs–I love the plaid, especially the orange. Thanks for letting us know about this new line!
