I have stashed a new batch of striped fabrics purchased from Whimsie Dots on Etsy.
If you have been following my blog for a while you may already be familiar with these fabrics.
They are reclaimed vintage bed linens (washed and re-washed) ready for recycling. To refresh your memory here is a picture of the quilt made with my previous batch of striped fabrics from Whimsie Dots:
I really enjoyed making this quilt and have been toying with the idea of making another one just like it, or with some variation in the overall design.
Enjoy Sunday!

Can't wait to see what you come up with this batch, your first whimsie dots quilts was fabulous. xo
ReplyDeleteamazing quilt!!! and i just love mandy from whimsie dots - she is such a sweetheart!
ReplyDeleteReally like this quilt. So bright and happy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and inspiring quilt!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteLove those "boxed" stripes! Excellent eye for color and arrangement. I was the lucky winner of two stacks of lovely floral prints from Whimsie Dots. These on-grain, generous cuts of freshly laundered, silky smooth fabrics are just waiting for the right project.
ReplyDeletePlaying with stripes is just wonderful! I love your results too!
ReplyDeleteyour quilt is so .... well, the words are just not there ... wonderful, perfect, what else is there to say .... love em! darlene

ReplyDeleteYour quilts are so fresh and pretty. Stop reading comments and go make that stripe-y quilt! Can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteYikes, Stripes! Love them. I posted about polka dots today, which I know you also love!
ReplyDeleteI am intrigued - I love all those stripes but when I looked at the Whimsie Dots website I noticed the fabrics were polycottons. I've always been told patchwork has to be cotton - is this another myth??? Please let me know as I just love this look and will start cutting up sheets with wild abandon! or buy some ready cut if Whimsie Dots ships to the UK!

Rita: So interesting that you mentioned your In A Spin quilt in this blog -- I was shopping stripes just this past Friday with your previous quilt in mind and had, in fact, pulled up your earlier post about this quilt. Can't wait to see your next striped quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool shop. Thanks for spreading the word. Can't wait to see what that pretty pile turns into!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt! Love all the stripe fabrics.
ReplyDeleteHi Rita, this quilt looks Amazing! I am still getting ready to start my first quilt, but this one is really really encouraging! Have a lovely day,
ReplyDeleteLove, Maaike
I love the idea of wringing every last bit of stripiness out of a striped fabric. That must be why they invented stripes in the first place...
