A fellow QB member requested for some Joann's fabric from the 90's. I knew I had some so I went digging in my stash, found it and lots more. My taste in colors has evolved and I love bright bold colors now, Amy Butler, KF and Michael Miller.

So my mission lately is use some of my old fabric colors, without buying anymore fabric. This is what I came up, three fabrics are from the 90's only the white is current Moda. I also was inspired by the pattern CJTinkle did recently.

What a great way to use up some of your stash! Cool design and I love all the quilted feathers!

That is a stunning quilt. While our tastes may change, good color combinations stay the same.

Looks great! I'm in the process of making the same pattern. I love your quilting! I have not yet done much practice doing feathers...mine will be a bit more basic.

Thanks for showing!

I looked for it and could not find it.

Awesome!

charismah 07-29-2011 09:12 PM

I think you made the old fabric look modern.....Good for you! I have been using some 90's fabric myself lately. Hehe.
I love the quilting you did as well.

cindy4857 07-29-2011 09:12 PM

you did yourself and the fabric proud. It came out very pretty. I love quilts that are beautiful in the pattern and work put into them, not because of flashy fabrics or gimicky stuff. Don't get me wrong I find beauty in those flashy contempory quilts as well just not the same warm comfortable feeling I get when I look at a quilt like the one you made. Job well done

cathylynn 07-29-2011 09:23 PM

very pretty. love what you did with the basic nine patch block.

justflyingin 07-29-2011 09:27 PM

It's beautiful! Good job.
