Bunny Trail Drunkard's Path Quilt | Red Pepper Quilts 2016

Earlier this year I was commissioned by Jodie Carleton from Vintage RicRic to make a quilt with her brand new fabric line ~ Bunny Trail for Ella Blue Fabrics ~ for Jodie's booth at Spring Quilt Market. The timeline was short but Jodie knew exactly what she wanted and I got on with the task ... a Drunkard's Path Quilt with a fun circle layout.

Bunny Trail Drunkard's Path Quilt | Red Pepper Quilts 2016

The Bunny Trail collection is inspired by the walking track near Jodie’s home and the fluffy-tailed inhabitants. If you walk there at the right time of the day you will see all those little bunnies hopping about on important bunny business. With happy colors and soft backgrounds this collection includes bunnies, carrots, and radishes and all manner of cuteness. The fabric will make the most charming happy quilts, clothing, bags, pillow cases, and cute little girl dresses.

Sunday Stash #343 Feedsack by Whistler Studios

Feedsack by Whistler Studios for Windham Fabrics | Red Pepper Quilts 2016
Feedsack by Whistler Studios
for Windham Fabrics

Feedsack is the most recent collection by Whistler Studios for Windham Fabrics. Reproduction fabrics, more specifically 30's reproduction fabric, continue be a fabric stash favorite and I love incorporating these prints into my quilts together with modern and contemporary fabrics. These are wonderful ~

Feedsack by Whistler Studios for Windham Fabrics | Red Pepper Quilts 2016Feedsack by Whistler Studios for Windham Fabrics | Red Pepper Quilts 2016

The collection features a range of traditional floral and ditzy (small scale) prints in colors typically associated with that era ~ six designs, each in up to four different colorways. These small scale designs are great for introducing reproduction fabrics into modern projects as you can readily assign a color to each - red, yellow, green and blue (above). You can then color co-ordinate your fabric selection, mixing and balancing the color palette of your project as you go irrespective of whether the fabric you have chosen for your project is a modern designer fabric or a reproduction fabric.

A Color Splash Quilt - The Finished Quilt

A Color Splash Quilt | Red Pepper Quilts 2016

I am so in love with these bright colors! This quilt has turned out great and it has made my day to be able to share a whole lot of photos with you here. I so wish you could see (and touch) the actual quilt for when you reduce the a quilt to a 10 inch square - or smaller still when viewing on a device - I do think that the impact is not the same, and I repeatedly hear from my customers that the actual quilt is even better than the photos! That's always nice to hear.

I think you may already know how much I love the fabrics that I have used to make this quilt. Many are from my stash of Japanese import fabrics by popular Japanese designers like Suzuko Koseki and Atsuko Matsuyuama, but also included are prints by Cotton + Steel and stash basics like dots, stripes, gingham, and small scale prints in a range of bold colors.
