I have to agree it speaks sundress to me, not my style for quilting !!
|
while i think it is nice it is not exactly my taste but I know a mom who would just flip over these. I am actually going to show her them for a baby quilt she is wanting me to make.

Not a fan...I'm probably in the minority. I prefer more traditional fabrics.....now I'm ducking and hiding! LOL I lost all attraction to Moda, but I'm probably in the minority on that one, too. I've noticed a decline in quality over the years and have heard war stories on how they treat their designers.

Love the designs. The colors are so vibrant. I don't think I would use it in a quilt, though. I prefer the old reproduction fabrics from the civil war. I am trying to branch out of my rut.

MY LQS just got back from Market and showed me what she ordered. She stepped outsider her box and ordered this. I was glad. Brights/moderns are so popular. It will extend her customer base and I want that for her.
I could use it in making stuff for younger women. They would love it. |

I could use it in making stuff for younger women. They would love it. Personally, my favorite design is the leafy vines. Those, I think, are not such a "big stretch" from some of the more traditional fabrics that I gravitate toward. I must confess that I have no idea how to use the zigzag prints though. And Moda is not the only company who has those in their line-up. Riley Blake has three sizes of zigzags, and I think Robert Kaufman has one too. |
I surprised myself by liking them all. But I do like the eggplant and plum fabrics the best.
|
I love the entire fabric line.

I cannot say that I would use it in one of my quilts.

Slightly off topic. . .
Do you happen to know if the designer is Vanessa Christienson? I think V and Co. is her company and she's the woman that designed the houndstooth quilt that I absolutely LOVE. You can see a version someone made in red and white here if you are interested: http://sweetwater.typepad.com/makeli.../04/twins.html BTW. . . I love the fabrics and love the idea of making a picnic blanket and matching outfit for my daughter. Not all fabrics would look good in both. |
