My Favorite Fabric Challenge

My Spring Bag by Claudia

image1 (7)

Picking a favorite fabric is very hard....it is usually the last piece I bought!  I had 3 fat quarters set aside for doing "something special" so used them for this week's challenge.  Using a bag I found on Pinterest as inspiration, I created a bag with two handle options (short, they are tucked under in photo and adjustable long strap) and three opening options (fold down as shown, or straight up for a longer bag or folded over for a flap style).  image2 (2)I love the floral for spring and added free motion quilted flower shapes to repeat the printed design.  I am Claudia and I create in Beaver Dam.

Table Runner by Ellen Upchurch

This geometric fabric (used in the back ground) I have had for a number of years and just could not bring myself to cut it up where it would lose its dimension so when I saw this week's challenge I decided to do this table runner which is woven and looks dimensional also.  It was challenging but fun to make. 

Vintage Baby Blanket by akacheryl

 

Title: Vintage Baby Blanket

Created in Issaquah

TheIMG_0164 "favorite" fabric is some vintage cowboy print flannel that I got from my grandma. It's one of a few pieces of vintage fabric she gave me that I've had for awhile and haven't wanted to cut into so I thought it fit the bill for this challenge.

I also upcycled some flannel PJs to create the baby blanket.

Ocean Love by Kerry Kassie

IMAG0142

It is a kid quilt about 3 feet by 4 feet called Ocean Love. It was inspired by the baby quilt I received from you and is my variation of that. The favorite fabrics I used for nearly all the applique are hand dyed fabrics (by you) that I won in PQ last season.
Off to the ice caves again!
