| Mini Blossom Quilt Made with Chestnut Street fabric |
The fabric in this mini quilt are Fig Tree's Chestnut Street . My sister, Amy , at Amy Made That! blog, gave me a charm pack of Chestnut Street, and there happened to be a little challenge on Instagram ( mine is @SusiesSunroom ): make a block using Fig Tree fabrics. I made one for the challenge, selecting "like" colors of charm squares (5" squares) for each blossom flower, and it was so cute that I made all four blossoms to complete a mini Blossom quilt!
I have a HUGE stash of Fig Tree fabrics, so I pulled out some "vintage" Millhouse Inn red for the border, and some newer Farmhouse for the green binding! I love how the old and the new fabric lines can blend together! The background fabric is made of scraps of my cream background fabrics.
These colors in the Chestnut Street line are beautiful, yet subtle, and I apologize for the "faded out" pictures not showing their true beauty.

Uhmmmm, I may or may not have found these little casseroles , on clearance, and picked them up because they had a Fig Tree and Co "look " to them!
 |
| I love the black and orange fabrics! |
 |
| Sorry for the color issues! |
The yellow is so fresh and pretty (in person!)
 |
| No, I didn't find yellow casseroles! |
 |
| All ready to sew the binding to the back of the quilt! |
Loving the look of the scrappy cream background fabrics:

I quilted diagonally, in one direction, using my favorite combination of my walking foot and Aurifil #2021 50 wt thread. I think it all came together , mixing fresh and new with vintage!

You did a fantastic job of fresh and new with vintage! I read somewhere that adding a piece or two of new or brighter fabrics livens up the older ones. Maybe it's like having grandchildren around! Thanks for sharing today on Midweek Makers
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute quilt! Those like-color pairings are terrific together, and I love coordinated scrappy backgrounds like this. :)
ReplyDeleteYour little quilt is so adorable! Love the block you have used in it and the fabrics. Have a small stash of Fig Tree fabrics myself :D
