The fabric for my quilt arrived last week, which is part of the reason I can't wait to get started. It's only a few weeks till the end of June (and we will have a linky this month for Fabriholics Anonymous, I completely forgot last month!!), so not long until my fabric diet finishes, but it was SO nice to get these in the mail. I'm using this bundle of summery hued Cotton Couture solids from Polka Dot Tea Fabrics. I sent Jeannette the Design Seeds palette I'd chosen and she curated this bundle based on the picture. I've switched out the light grey for charcoal, and I really like how the colours pop against the dark background.
I've heard really great things about Cotton Couture before, but have never used it until now. It is amazing stuff - it has a much finer weave than the solids I usually use, and is gorgeously soft. I'm extremely excited about the idea of quilting this quilt now I've touched these solids - and I think I'll be ordering a couple of threads to match. If you're keen to make your quilt out of solids too, Polkadot Tea Fabrics carry an excellent selection of Cotton Couture, something I'm particularly excited about as they are an Australian based store.
I need to announce the winners of the Fat Quarter Shop layer cake giveaway (and a copy of my Giant Chevron pattern)! Mr Random chose #5 Michele, #111 aus_chick and #108 mommajaehn. Congratulations! I will send you all an email soon :o)
I hope everyone is having a great week!
